Definition

To enter together with another or others; to accompany someone into a location or gathering. Primary sense is joint or collective movement into a place, with additional contextual nuance of accompanying participation or shared access.

Root / Etymology

From σύν (with, together) and εἰσέρχομαι (to go in, to enter). The compound construction emphasizes the notion of entering jointly or in association with others.

Historical & Contextual Notes

In Koine Greek usage, συνεισέρχομαι appears primarily in narrative contexts describing people moving into places together, often to express shared action or association. In the Septuagint and extra-biblical writings, it is rare but follows the same basic pattern. In the New Testament (Luke 11:52; Acts 5:10; 13:14), the word highlights the aspect of joint participation in entering—sometimes underscoring unity, permission, or exclusion (as in Luke 11:52, where entry with others is prevented). English translations often simply render it as 'go in with' or 'enter with,' but the full sense includes the communal or collaborative aspect implied by the prefix σύν. There is no standard English translation that fully captures the nuanced sense of collective or associative entering found in the Greek. The verb does not carry religious or ritual overtones by itself but is shaped by context.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from σύν and εἰσέρχομαι; to enter in company with:--go in with, go with into.
