Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (syn, meaning "together") and πληρόω (plēróō, meaning "to fill" or "to fulfill"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συμπληρόω, the concept of fulfillment and completion can be related to Hebrew terms such as מָלֵא (male', Strong's 4390), meaning "to fill" or "to be full," and כָּלָה (kalah, Strong's 3615), meaning "to complete" or "to finish." These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of reaching a state of fullness or completion, often in the context of fulfilling God's purposes or completing a designated time. Usage: The verb συμπληρόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of something being fully completed or fulfilled, often in the context of time or events reaching their full measure or conclusion. Context: The Greek verb συμπληρόω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the completion or fulfillment of a period or event. It is often used to describe the culmination of time or the fulfillment of divine purposes. For example, in Luke 8:23, the term is used to describe the filling of a boat with water, indicating a state of being completely filled. In Luke 9:51, it refers to the time being fulfilled for Jesus to be taken up, highlighting the divine timing and fulfillment of His mission. The use of συμπληρόω underscores the concept of divine sovereignty and the fulfillment of God's plans. It conveys the idea that events unfold according to a divine schedule, reaching their intended completion. This term is significant in understanding the biblical narrative of God's redemptive history, where specific times and events are orchestrated to achieve His purposes. In the Berean Standard Bible, Luke 8:23 reads: "As they sailed, He fell asleep, and a squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger." Here, συμπληρόω is translated as "being swamped," illustrating the boat being filled with water to the point of danger. In Luke 9:51, the BSB states: "As the day of His ascension approached, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem." The phrase "as the day... approached" reflects the fulfillment of time for Jesus' ascension, using συμπληρόω to indicate the completion of a divinely appointed period.
