The Key Word — συνέρχομαι, sunerchomaigenerated
The verb συνέρχομαι (sunerchomai) means 'to come together' or 'to assemble.' It is built from the prefix συν- meaning 'together' and the verb ἔρχομαι meaning 'to come.' This word emphasizes the act of gathering for a common purpose, which is evident in the context of the verse where people come together to seek healing.
In this verse, the imperfect tense indicates that the action of gathering was ongoing or repeated. The crowds were actively coming together from various towns, highlighting the urgency and need for healing among the people.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is translated in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.' This wording is consistent across many translations.
However, some versions differ in their choice of words. For example, the KJV uses 'There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem,' while the BBE opts for 'numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem.' These variations reflect different approaches to conveying the same gathering of people.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is συνήρχετο, were coming together, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by a series of phrases that detail the subjects of the gathering and their actions.
The structure includes several noun phrases: the subject 'crowds,' the prepositional phrase 'from the towns around Jerusalem,' and participial phrases describing what the crowds were bringing. This complex structure reflects the interconnectedness of the actions and subjects in the narrative.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
πλῆθος is a term that appears in the Septuagint, often translating Hebrew words like רֹב (H7230), meaning 'multitude' or 'greatness.' This connection emphasizes the significance of large gatherings in biblical narratives.
ἀσθενής also appears in the Septuagint, translating terms for weakness or sickness, linking the New Testament context of healing with the broader biblical theme of restoration from affliction.

Vexed with unclean spirits.—In this work the Apostles and the Seventy had already experienced the power of the Name of the Lord Jesus (Luke 10:17).

The Greek word συνέρχομαι (sunerchomai) is built from the prefix συν- meaning 'together' and the verb ἔρχομαι meaning 'to come.' It covers a range of meanings including 'to assemble,' 'to accompany,' and 'to cohabit.' In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as gathering for worship (e.g., Mark 3:20) and marital relations (e.g., Matthew 1:18).

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

Mt 6:14 should therefore read, "Your heavenly Father will forgive you also"; Lu 6:13, "Whom also he named apostles"; Heb 8:6, "The mediator of a better covenant also"; and 1Th 4:14, `If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also (we believe that) those who are fallen asleep in Jesus, God will bring with Him.'

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

πλῆθος is a neuter noun meaning a great number or multitude, often referring to crowds of people or large quantities of things. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Luke and Acts, where it describes groups of people or large amounts of items. The word is built from the root related to fullness and magnitude, and it has been used since ancient Greek literature.
πλῆθος is used (1) of things—P Hib I. 52ὅ (c. B.c. 245) τὰ P Lille I. 378 (B.c. 241-0) ἱκανὰ πλήθη, ‘‘des sommes considérables’’ (Ed.), P Tebt II. 2824 (late ii/p.c.) εἶ μὴ (ν) παρειληφέναι τὰ ὑπογεγρί(αμμένα) πλήθηι, “that 1 have in truth received the hereinafter mentioned amounts ἡ (Edd.), P Ryl IL. 1192?

Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.
ὁ, ἡ, τό,
the prepositive article (ἄρθρον προτακτικόν), originally a demonstr. pron. (so usually in Hom.), in general corresponding to the Eng. definite article.

What has been said concerning adjectives holds true also of all other limitations added to substantives, as ἡ κατ᾽ ἐκλογὴν πρόθεσις, Ro. ix. 11; ἡ παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ διαθήκη, Ro. xi. 27; 6 λόγος 6 τοῦ σταυροῦ, 1 Co. i. 18; ἡ εἰς Χριστὸν πίστις, Col. ii. 5; on the other hand, ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν ἡ πρὸς τὸν θεόν, 1 Th. i. 8; τῆς διακονίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους, 2 Co. viii. 4; see many other exx. of each usage in W. 131 (124) sqq.; [B. 91 (80) sqq.]. e.

The Greek word πέριξ (*perix*) is an adverb meaning 'round about' or 'all around.' It can function as a preposition with various cases, primarily used to describe locations or areas surrounding something. In the New Testament, it appears in Acts 5:16, referring to the cities nearby. The entries indicate a consistent understanding of the term, with no significant disagreement among lexicographers.
πέριξ [on the formative or strengthening & cf. Lob. Paralip. p. 131], adv., fr. Aeschyl. down, round about: αἱ πέριξ πόλεις, the cities round about, the circumjacent cities, Acts v. 16.
πέριξ, “round about ’’ (Ac 518), formerly a nom. sing. (Boisacq p- 772), and rare in Attic prose, cf. PSI IV. 3175 (A.D. 95) πάϊντες οἱ πέριξ, and Aaibel 468! Aalveos στήλη pe πέριξ ἔχει.

πόλις (polis) means 'city' and can refer to an enclosed town or the inhabitants of a city. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in the context of specific cities like Jerusalem or as a general term for urban areas. The word is derived from various dialects and has a rich history in classical literature, indicating both physical locations and the concept of citizenship.

The earliest notice in Scripture of city-building is of Enoch by Cain, in the land of his exile. (Genesis 4:17) After the confusion of tongues the descendants of Nimrod founded Babel, Erech, Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar, and Asshur, a branch from the same stock, built Nineveh, Rehoboth-by-the-river, Calah and Resen, the last being "a great city." The earliest description of a city, properly so called, is that of Sodom, (Genesis 19:1-22) Even before the time of Abraham there were cities in Egypt, (Genesis 12:14,15; Numbers 13:22) and the Israelites, during their sojourn there, were employed in building or fortifying the "treasure cities" of Pithom and Raamses.…

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

The word Ἱεροσόλυμα (i.e. Jerusalem) is a proper noun of Hebrew origin, referring to the capital of Palestine. It appears in various forms in the New Testament, with Ἱερουσαλήμ being the indeclinable form used most frequently. The lexicons note its symbolic significance in verses like Galatians 4:25-26 and Hebrews 12:22, where it represents both the earthly city and a heavenly counterpart.
Ἱερουσαλήμ, v.s. Ἱεροσόλυμα.
Ἱεροσόλυμα [WH Ἴερ.. see their Intr. § 408], -ων, τά, (the invariable form in Mk. and Jn., almost everywhere in Mt. ana Joseph. [e. Ap. 1, 22, 13, ete.; Philo, leg. ad Gaium ὃ 36; (ef.

Jerusalem
Called also Salem, Ariel, Jebus, the “city of God,” the “holy city;” by the modern Arabs el-Khuds, meaning “the holy;” once “the city of Judah” (2 Chr. 25:28). This name is in the original in the dual form, and means “possession of peace,” or “foundation of peace.” The dual form probably refers to the two mountains on which it was built, viz., Zion and Moriah; or, as some suppose, to the two parts of the city, the “upper” and the “lower city.” Jerusalem is a “mountain city enthroned on a mountain fastness” (comp. Ps. 68:15, 16; 87:1; 125:2; 76:1, 2; 122:3). It stands on the edge of one of the highest table-lands in Palestine, and is surrounded on the south-eastern, the southern, and the western sides by deep and precipitous ravines.
(the habitation of peace), Jerusalem stands in latitude 31 degrees 46’ 35" north and longitude 35 degrees 18’ 30" east of Greenwich. It is 32 miles distant from the sea and 18 from the Jordan, 20 from Hebron and 36 from Samaria. "In several respects," says Dean Stanley, "its situation is singular among the cities of Palestine. Its elevation is remarkable; occasioned not from its being on the summit of one of the numerous hills of Judea, like most of the towns and villages, but because it is on the edge of one of the highest table-lands of the country. Hebron indeed is higher still by some hundred feet, and from the south, accordingly (even from Bethlehem), the approach to Jerusalem is by a slight descent. But from any other side the ascent is perpetual; and to the traveller approaching the city from the east or west it must always have presented the appearance beyond any other capital…
The chief city of the Holy Land, and to the Christian the most illustrious in the world. It is situated in 31 degrees 46’43" N. lat., and 35 degrees 13’ E. long. on elevated ground south of the center of the country, about thirty-seven miles from the Mediterranean, and about twenty-four from the Jordan. Its site was early hallowed by God’s trial of Abraham’s faith, Ge 22:1-24 2Ch 3:1. It was on the border of the tribes of Benjamin and Judah, mostly within the limits of the former, but reckoned as belonging to the latter, because conquered by it, Jos 15:8 18:16,28 Jud 1:18. The most ancient name of the city was Salem, Ge…

φέρω (phero) is a versatile Greek verb meaning to bear, carry, or bring. It can imply physical carrying, enduring, or producing something, and is used in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Luke 23:26 and Hebrews 1:3. The word is built from roots suggesting motion and can also convey metaphorical meanings, like being influenced or prompted. Notably, lexicons differ on the nuances of its use in specific contexts.
On the distinction between these words Lobeck (Phrynichus, p. 585) has the following remarks: ‘ Inter φέρω et φορέω hoc interesse constat, quod iilud actionem simplicem et transitoriam, hoc autem actionis ejusdem continuationem significat ; verbi caus ἀγγελίην φέρειν, est alicujus rei nuncium afferre, Herod. iii. 53 et 122; v.143 ἀγγελίην φορέειν, ili. 34, nuncii munere apud aliquem fungi. Hine et φορεῖν dicimur ea que nobiscum circumferimus, quibus amicti indutique sumus, ut ἱμάτιον, τριβώνιον, δακτύλιον φορεῖν, tum que ad habitum corporis pertinent.’ He proceeds, however, to acknowledge that this distinction is by no means constantly observed even by the best Greek authors. It is, therefore, the more noticeable, as an example of that accuracy which so often takes us by surprise in the use of words by the writers of the N. T., that they are always true to this rule. On the six…

The Greek word ἀσθενής (*asthenēs*) means weak or without strength, derived from the negative prefix ἀ- and the root for strength. It covers a range of meanings, including physical weakness, sickness, and moral or spiritual frailty.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The Greek word ὀχλέω (i.e., *ochleo*) is derived from ὄχλος and means to disturb or trouble. It covers a range of meanings from moving or rolling something to causing vexation or harassment. In the New Testament, it appears in Acts 5:16, where it conveys the idea of being in a tumult or being troubled. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

Its primary uses include indicating physical position, agency, and subjection, as seen in various New Testament passages like Matthew 1:22 and Romans 6:14. The word can express both literal and metaphorical meanings, such as being under someone's influence or authority.

In the sense of "against" which survives only in dialectal English (compare Wright, Dialect Dict., I, 470, for examples) is the King James Version rendering of the dative emauto of 1Co 4:4 (the American Standard Revised Version renders this "against"). In classical Greek the same idiom sunoida with dative = "be conscious" or "be cognizant of" a thing.

The Greek word πνεῦμα (i.e., *pneuma*) means 'spirit' or 'breath' and is derived from the verb πνέω (to blow). It encompasses various meanings, including air in motion, the vital principle of life, and spiritual beings such as angels and demons. In the New Testament, it frequently refers to the Holy Spirit and the human spirit, appearing in contexts that contrast it with the body or flesh.
From the words into comparison with which πνεῦμα is here brought, it will be evident that it is proposed to deal with it in its natural and earthly, not in its supernatural and heavenly, meaning. Only I will observe, that on the relations between πνοή and πνεῦμα in this its higher sense there is a discussion in Augustine, De Civ. Dei, xiii. 22; cf. De Anim. et huj. Orig. i. 14, 19. The first three words of this group, as they designate not things heavenly but things earthly, differ from one another exactly as, according to Seneca, do in the Latin ‘aér,’ ‘spiritus,’ ‘ ventus’ (Nat. Qu. v. 13) : ‘Spiritum a vento motus' separat; vehementior enim spiritus ventus est; invicem spiritus leviter fluens aer.’ Πνοή and πνεῦμα occur not seldom together, as at Isai. xlii. 5; lvii. 16; πνοή conveying the impression of a lighter, gentler, motion of the air than πνεῦμα, as ‘aura’ than ‘ventus.’…

The Greek word ἀκάθαρτος (akathartos) means unclean or impure, derived from a negative prefix and a root meaning cleansed. It covers physical, ceremonial, and moral impurity, appearing in contexts related to food, demonic spirits, and moral behavior. The New Testament references include Acts 10:14, 28 and Ephesians 5:5. Notably, it is frequently associated with unclean spirits in the Gospels.

[in LXX chiefly for טָמֵא;]
unclean, impure;
physically (LS, MM, VGT, s.v.);

ἀκάθαρτος, -ov, (kabaipw), [fr. Soph. down], in the Sept. i. q. $V, not cleansed, unclean ; a. inaceremonial sense, that which must be abstained from according to the levitical law, lest impurity be contracted: Acts x. 14; xi. 8 (of food); Acts x. 28; 1 Co. vii. 14 (of men); 2 Co. vi. 17 (fr. Is. lii. 11, of things pertaining to idolatry); Rev. xviii. 2 (of birds). b. in a moral sense, unclean in thought and life (freq. in Plat.) : Eph. v. 5; τὰ ἀκάθαρτα τῆς πορνείας, Rev. xvii. 4 (ace. to the true reading); πνεύματα, demons, bad angels, [in twenty-three pass. of the Gospels, Acts, Rev.]: Mt. x. 1; xu. 43; Mk.i. 23, 26; i. 11, ete.; Lk. iv. 38, 36; vi. 18, ete.; Acts v. 16; viii. 7; Rev. xvi. 13; xviii. 2, (πνεύματα πονηρά in Mt. xii. 45; Lk. vii. 21; viii. 2; xi. 26; Acts xix. 12 sq. 15 sq.).
ἀκάθαρτος. The adjective is found in a moral sense of an unclean demon in the long magical papyrus P Par 5741°38 (= Se/ections, p. 113).

The Greek word ὅστις (i.e., *hostis*) is a relative pronoun meaning 'whoever' or 'whosoever.' It is used in the New Testament primarily in general statements and relative sentences, often indicating an indefinite person or thing. The word is built from the components for 'who' and 'any.' Notably, there is some distinction in usage between ὅστις and its simpler form ὅς, particularly in the writings of Paul compared to Luke.
ὅστις, ἥτις, ὅ τι (also written ὅ, τι and ὅτι; v. LS, s.v.; WH, § 411; Tdf., Pr., 111), in NT scarcely ever except in nom. (M, Pr., 91), the only instance of the oblique cases being found in ἕως ὅτου (v.s. ἕως), relative of indef. reference (related to simple ὅς as Lat. quisquis to qui),

The Greek word ἅπας (lemma: hapas) means 'all' or 'the whole,' and is a strengthened form of πᾶς (all). It can be used in various contexts, often appearing before or after nouns, and is found frequently in the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Notably, it is used in verses like Luke 3:21 and Galatians 3:28.
