It conveys the idea of coming together or meeting with someone, sometimes unexpectedly.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, meetings and encounters were significant in both social and religious contexts. The concept of meeting someone could imply a divine appointment or a significant event, reflecting the belief in fate or divine orchestration. The use of συντυγχάνω in the New Testament often highlights the providential nature of certain encounters, emphasizing God's sovereignty in orchestrating events and relationships.<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/5177.htm">tugchanó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to meet with<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>get (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 4940: συντυγχάνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συντυγχάνω</span></span>: 2 aorist infinitive <span class="greek2">συντυχεῖν</span>; from (<span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span>), <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; <span class="accented">to meet with, come to</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
