Near synonyms 2 words
- συνέρχομαι synérchomai · G4905 · to gather together, to come together, to go together
- A distinct Greek verb (not from the βαίνω family) meaning 'to come/go together with,' which shares the notion of accompanying someone in travel or movement, though συνέρχομαι is more general (any joint coming/going) while συγκαταβαίνω specifies descending together.
- συνακολουθέω synakolouthéō · G4870 · to accompany, to follow
- A compound verb meaning 'to follow together with' or 'to accompany,' semantically overlapping with the companionship aspect of συγκαταβαίνω. However, συνακολουθέω emphasizes following or accompanying without directional specificity, whereas συγκαταβαίνω specifies descending movement in company.
In the other Testament 1 word
- יָרַד yârad · H3381 · to go down, to come down, to fall down
- The standard Hebrew verb for 'to descend,' which translates the simple καταβαίνω; συγκαταβαίνω adds the 'with' prefix (συν-) to express accompanying someone in descent. Since the Hebrew often uses יָרַד with עִם ('with') to express the same compound notion, this is a legitimate translation equivalent.
