| Root | ἔρχομαι (erchomai) |
| Core Meanings | come, go, arrive, approach, enter, appear |
| Semantic Range | to come, to go, to arrive, to appear, to enter, to approach, to occur, to take place |
| Conceptual Significance | In the biblical text, this perfect form often underscores the significance of arrival with enduring consequence—especially in declarations of mission or revelation (e.g., a prophet or the Messiah announcing "I have come"), highlighting both completed action and abiding presence. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, perfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, first person singular (Gr,V,IEA1,,S,). The perfect form ἐλήλυθα functions as the standard perfect of ἔρχομαι, emphasizing present state resulting from prior coming. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἐλήλυθα is perfect active indicative, first person singular, expressing a completed act of coming with continuing present result. "I have come and am now here" preserves the perfect aspect (completed action with abiding presence) and the first-person singular active voice of the form. |
