Strong's Lexicon aphikneomai: To arrive, to come to, to reach Original Word: ἀφικνέομαι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: aphikneomai Pronunciation: af-ik-neh'-om-ahee Phonetic Spelling: (af-ik-neh'-om-ahee) Definition: I arrive at, reach, come to. Meaning: To arrive, to come to a place, to reach a destination. Word Origin: Derived from the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from") and the verb ἱκνέομαι (hiknéomai, meaning "to come" or "to reach"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H935 בּוֹא (bo): To come, to go, to enter. • H5060 נָגַע (naga): To touch, to reach, to arrive. These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of movement and arrival, underscoring the continuity between the Old and New Testament narratives regarding the fulfillment of God's promises and the journeys of His people. 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. The act of arriving is often associated with divine purpose and fulfillment. For instance, the arrival of Jesus in Jerusalem, as described in the Gospels, marks the culmination of His earthly ministry and the beginning of the Passion Week. The Berean Standard Bible captures these moments of arrival with precision, emphasizing their theological significance. While ἀφικνέομαι itself is not used in the New Testament, its conceptual relevance is evident in passages where arrival signifies the completion of a divine plan or the reaching of a significant milestone in God's redemptive history.
