In the NT, 4819 /symbaínō ("happen") chiefly refers to God's providence, i.e. that the Lord arranges all the physical scenes of life to work in conjunction with His eternal purpose. Indeed, the two always go together – which means "everything is happening (4819 /symbaínō) as it should" (G. Archer). [That is, on the "boulē-level of the will of God. See 1012 /boulē ("the Lord's immutable plan for physical circumstances").] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from sun and the same as basis Definition to come together, i.e. (of events) to come to pass NASB Translation came (1), happen (1), happened (3), happening (1), taken place (1).

Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "together") and βαίνω (bainō, "to go" or "to walk"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συμβαίνω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that describe occurrences or events, such as קָרָה (qarah, Strong's 7136), which means "to happen" or "to occur." This Hebrew term is used in contexts where events unfold or come to pass, often with a sense of divine orchestration. Usage: The verb συμβαίνω is used in the New Testament to describe events or occurrences, often with the connotation of things coming together or happening as a result of certain circumstances. Context: The Greek verb συμβαίνω appears in the New Testament to describe the occurrence of events or the coming together of circumstances. It is used in contexts where events unfold or happen, often with a sense of divine orchestration or natural consequence. The term can imply both ordinary and extraordinary events, depending on the context. In Acts 3:10, the word is used to describe the amazement of the people when they recognized the healed beggar: "they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him." Here, συμβαίνω conveys the occurrence of a miraculous event that led to public astonishment. The term also appears in Acts 20:19, where Paul speaks of serving the Lord with humility and tears, despite the trials that "happened" to him through the plots of the Jews. This usage underscores the unfolding of events in Paul's ministry, highlighting both the challenges and the divine purpose in his journey. συμβαίνω is a versatile term that captures the unfolding of events, whether mundane or miraculous, and often carries an implicit understanding of divine providence or natural consequence in the biblical narrative.
