Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
παραγίνομαι. The use of παραγίνομαι as a synonym for ἔρχομαι, which Thackeray (Gr. 1. p. 267) thinks may be of Ionic origin, is common in the LXX and later Greek generally (cf. Glaser De ratione, p. 36f.). In the NT it is mainly confined to the Lucan writings, but Harnack (Sayings of Jesus, p. 86) goes too far when he asserts that it is ‘‘a choicer (gewah//er) word than ἦλθον ᾿᾿: (cf. Lk 191618). This is true to about the same extent as it is that avrzve is ‘‘choicer” than come. In Witkowski’s collection of Ptolemaic private letters παραPart VI.
