Usage: The verb ἀφικνέομαι is used in ancient Greek literature to describe the act of arriving or reaching a particular place. It is not directly found in the New Testament but is relevant in understanding the context of travel and arrival in biblical narratives. Context: The Greek verb ἀφικνέομαι, while not appearing in the New Testament, is significant in the broader context of biblical travel and movement. The concept of arriving or reaching a destination is a recurring theme in Scripture, often symbolizing the fulfillment of a journey or mission. In the Old Testament, the journey to the Promised Land is a central narrative, reflecting the physical and spiritual arrival at a divinely appointed destination. Similarly, in the New Testament, the journeys of Jesus and the apostles underscore the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of the early Church.
