Definition: The English term "allured" appears in the New Testament to mean that a person was so captivated by another, particularly an idol, that he would not leave them, often with the desire to worship them or even die for him. In the context of the story of Peter and John who were at the sea-side, Jesus asks Peter if he will follow him (John 4:28). Peter is captivated by the sight and sounds of water in the sea as it moves up and down but refuses to follow Him. This can be interpreted as a form of idolatry or worship. The term "allured" is used figuratively in this context, meaning that Peter's desire to worship Jesus and follow Him was so strong that he would not allow him to leave him.
