A preposition in a word that indicates a relationship between two nouns in a sentence. For example, words such as "on", "in", "at" and "with" are prepositions in English.
In Koine Greek the meaning of a preposition is defined by the case of the noun that it relates to. For example, kata can mean "according to" or "against".
The following table lists the various prepositions in Koine Greek.
| Preposition | Genitive | Dative | Accusative | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spatial Sense | Movement away from something or a position away from something else. | No movement, but in a fixed position | Movement towards something or a position reached as a result of that movement | |
| Time Sense | Event occurred within a specified time. | Event occurred at a specified time or while an action was being performed | Event may show the amount of time | |
