Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παραπορεύομαι, the concept of passing by or traveling can be found in Hebrew verbs such as עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674), which means "to pass over" or "to go through."

Usage: The verb παραπορεύομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the action of passing by or traveling along a particular path or route. It often conveys the idea of movement in proximity to something or someone, highlighting the act of journeying or traveling alongside.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel was a common part of life, whether for trade, military campaigns, or religious pilgrimages. Roads and pathways were essential for connecting cities and regions. The concept of "passing by" or "traveling along" would have been familiar to the original audience, as it was a part of daily life. The use of παραπορεύομαι in the New Testament often reflects the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry and the movement of people in response to His teachings.
