Strong's Lexicon sunagó: To gather, to bring together, to assemble Original Word: συνάγω Word Origin: From σύν (G4862) meaning "together" and ἄγω (G71) meaning "to lead" or "to bring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - קָבַץ (H6908) - to gather, collect - אָסַף (H622) - to gather, remove Usage: The verb "sunagó" primarily means to gather or bring together. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including the gathering of people, such as crowds or disciples, and the collection of items, such as harvests. The term conveys the idea of assembling or uniting for a purpose, whether it be for teaching, worship, or other communal activities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, gatherings were a common aspect of social and religious life. The Jewish synagogue (derived from the same root) was a central place for community assembly, worship, and teaching. The concept of gathering was also significant in agricultural societies, where harvests were collected and stored. In the early Christian context, gatherings were essential for worship, fellowship, and the dissemination of apostolic teaching.
