It can refer to both physical meetings and metaphorical encounters, such as coming across a situation or event. In the New Testament, it is used to describe encounters that have a particular significance or divine appointment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, meetings and encounters were often significant events, especially in a culture that valued hospitality and community. Meetings could be planned or spontaneous, but they often carried social, religious, or political importance. The concept of meeting was also significant in Jewish culture, where divine encounters and meetings with God or His messengers were pivotal moments in the narrative of the Hebrew Scriptures.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and antaó (to come opposite, meet face to face)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to meet with, hence to befall<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>happen (1), meet (1), met (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4876: συναντάω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συναντάω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">συνάντω</span>: future <span class="greek2">συναντήσω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">συνήντησα</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">פָּגַע </span>, <span class="hebrew">פָּגַשׁ</span>, <span class="hebrew">קָרָה</span>, <span class="hebrew">קִדֵּם</span>, etc.; <span class="accented">to meet with</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/9-37.htm">Luke 9:37</a>.
