Strong's Lexicon sunesthió: To eat with, partake together Original Word: συνεσθίω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: sunesthió Pronunciation: soon-es-thee'-o Phonetic Spelling: (soon-es-thee'-o) Definition: I eat with. Meaning: To eat together, to partake of food in company with others. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix σύν (syn), meaning "with" or "together," and ἐσθίω (esthiō), meaning "to eat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συνεσθίω, the concept of communal eating and fellowship can be related to Hebrew terms such as אכל (akal, Strong's H398), which means "to eat," and לחם (lechem, Strong's H3899), meaning "bread" or "food," often used in contexts of shared meals or hospitality. Usage: The term συνεσθίω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of eating together, often in the context of fellowship or communal meals. It can imply a sense of unity or shared experience among those who partake. Context: The Greek verb συνεσθίω appears in the New Testament to denote the act of eating together, often highlighting the communal and relational aspects of meals. In the cultural context of the biblical world, sharing a meal was a significant social activity that symbolized fellowship, acceptance, and unity. In the New Testament, συνεσθίω is used in contexts that emphasize the breaking down of social and religious barriers. For example, in Galatians 2:12, Paul recounts how Peter would eat with Gentile believers, illustrating the early church's struggle with Jewish-Gentile relations and the inclusivity of the Gospel. The act of eating together in this context was a powerful statement of unity in Christ, transcending traditional Jewish dietary laws and social divisions. The concept of eating together also appears in the context of the Lord's Supper, where believers are called to partake in a communal meal that signifies their unity in Christ's body and blood. This act of communal eating serves as a reminder of the new covenant and the fellowship believers share with one another and with Christ.
