Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "with, together") and τρέχω (trecho, "to run")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συντρέχω, the concept of gathering or coming together can be found in Hebrew words such as קָבַץ (qavats, Strong's Hebrew 6908), which means "to gather, assemble," and יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's Hebrew 3318), which can mean "to go out, come forth," often used in contexts of people coming together or assembling. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of collective movement or assembly, though they may not capture the exact nuance of running or rushing together as συντρέχω does.

Usage: The verb συντρέχω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of people coming together quickly, often in response to an event or situation that demands immediate attention or action.

Context: The Greek verb συντρέχω appears in the New Testament to depict the act of people converging or gathering rapidly, often in response to a significant event. This term is used to convey the urgency and collective movement of a group. In the context of the New Testament, it can describe both physical gatherings and metaphorical or spiritual convergences.

An example of its usage can be found in Acts 3:11 (BSB): "While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran together to them in the portico called Solomon’s Colonnade." Here, συντρέχω illustrates the crowd's immediate and eager response to the miraculous healing performed by Peter and John, highlighting the communal and spontaneous nature of their reaction.

The term underscores the dynamic and often communal nature of early Christian experiences, where the actions of the apostles and the work of the Holy Spirit frequently drew people together in wonder and inquiry. It reflects the early church's environment, characterized by rapid growth and the gathering of believers and seekers alike.
