Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀγοράζω; (imperfect ἠγόραζον; future ἀγοράσω); 1 aorist ἠγόρασα; passive, perfect participle ἠγορασμένος; 1 aorist ἠγοράσθην; (ἀγορά);
1. to frequent the marketplace.
2. to buy (properly, in the marketplace) (Aristophanes, Xenophon, others); used
a. literally: absolutely, Mat 21:12; Mar 11:15; Luk 19:45 (not g T Tr WH); τί, Mat 13:44; Mat 13:46; Mat 14:15 and parallel passage, Joh 4:8; Joh 6:5; with παρά and the genitive of the person from whom, Rev 3:18 (the Sept., Polybius); ἐκ and the genitive of price, Mat 27:7; simple genitive of price, Mar 6:37.
b. figuratively: Christ is said to have purchased his disciples i. e. made them, as it were, his private property, 1Co 6:20 (this is commonly understood of god; but cf. Joh 17:9-10); 1Co 7:23 (with the genitive of price added; see τιμή, 1); 2Pe 2:1. He is also said to have bought them for god ἐν τῷ αἵματι αὐτοῦ, by shedding his blood, Rev 5:9; they, too, are spoken of as purchased ἀπό τῆς γῆς, Rev 14:3, and ἀπό τῶν ἀνθρώπων, Rev 14:4, so that they are withdrawn from the earth (and its miseries) and from (wicked) men. But ἀγοράζω does not mean redeem (ἐξαγοράζω) — as is commonly said. (Compare: ἐξαγοράζω.)
