Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunekdémos," the concept of companionship and shared journey can be related to terms like רֵעַ (rea, H7453), meaning "friend" or "companion." Usage: The term "sunekdémos" refers to someone who travels together with another, a companion on a journey. In the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who accompany others in their missionary or ministerial travels, highlighting the fellowship and shared purpose in their journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, travel was often perilous and challenging, making companionship on journeys highly valued for safety, support, and encouragement. The early Christian mission relied heavily on such partnerships, as the spread of the Gospel required extensive travel across the Roman Empire. Companions in travel were not only practical but also served as witnesses and co-laborers in the ministry.
