Strong's Lexicon sunekdémos: Fellow traveler, companion Original Word: συνεκδημος Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: sunekdémos Pronunciation: soon-ek'-day-mos Phonetic Spelling: (soon-ek'-day-mos) Definition: a fellow traveler. Meaning: A fellow traveler; one who accompanies another on a journey. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "with") and ἐκδημέω (ekdēmeō, meaning "to be away from home" or "to travel"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συνεκδημος in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, as the concept of a "fellow traveler" in the specific New Testament context does not have a direct Old Testament counterpart. However, the idea of companionship and shared journeys can be seen in various narratives throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, where individuals travel together for common purposes, such as in the stories of the patriarchs and the Exodus. Usage: The term is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who travel together, often in the context of missionary journeys or travels related to the early Christian church. Context: The Greek term συνεκδημος appears in the New Testament in the context of companionship and shared mission. It is used to describe individuals who accompany others on journeys, particularly those related to the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of early Christian communities. The term emphasizes the fellowship and partnership inherent in these travels, highlighting the communal aspect of early Christian ministry. In the Berean Standard Bible, συνεκδημος is found in Colossians 4:10, where Paul refers to Aristarchus as "my fellow prisoner" and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, as a "fellow traveler." This usage underscores the close relationship and shared purpose among those who traveled with Paul, contributing to the work of the early church. The concept of a "fellow traveler" in the New Testament reflects the broader theme of Christian fellowship and mutual support. Those who were συνεκδημος with Paul and other apostles played crucial roles in the dissemination of Christian teachings and the strengthening of nascent Christian communities. Their journeys were not merely physical but also spiritual, as they shared in the mission and challenges of spreading the Gospel.
