Strong's Lexicon sumporeuomai: To go along with, to accompany, to travel together Original Word: συμπoρεύομαι Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "with") and πορεύομαι (poreuomai, meaning "to journey" or "to travel"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sumporeuomai," the concept of journeying together can be related to Hebrew terms like "הלך" (halak, meaning "to walk" or "to go") and "נסע" (nasa, meaning "to travel" or "to journey"). Usage: The verb "sumporeuomai" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of traveling or journeying together with others. It implies companionship and shared purpose in the act of moving from one place to another. This term can denote both physical travel and metaphorical journeys, such as shared experiences or spiritual paths. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel was often undertaken in groups for safety and companionship. Roads were less secure, and traveling in numbers provided protection against bandits and other dangers. The concept of journeying together also held social and relational significance, as it fostered community and mutual support. In the context of early Christianity, traveling together often meant sharing in the mission of spreading the Gospel and supporting one another in faith.
