It implies a sense of partnership or joint participation in a journey or mission. This term is often used in the context of discipleship, where followers are called to walk alongside their leader, sharing in their experiences and mission.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of following a teacher or leader was integral to the process of learning and discipleship. Philosophers and rabbis would gather disciples who would accompany them, learning through observation and participation. This cultural practice is reflected in the New Testament, where Jesus calls His disciples to follow Him, not just in a physical sense, but in a commitment to His teachings and way of life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/190.htm">akoloutheó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to follow along with<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>accompanied (1), accompany (1), following (1).<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 4870: συνακολουθέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συνακολουθέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">συνακολούθω</span>;
