ἐπαθροίζομαι G1865
to gather together, assemble in addition
A passive verb meaning to assemble or gather together, with the prefix suggesting accumulation. Luke 11:29 describes crowds 'pressing together' or 'gathering in large numbers' around Jesus to hear him speak. The verb conveys the sense of increasing multitudes, people converging from various directions to form an ever-larger assembly.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Luke uses this vivid verb to set the scene for Jesus' rebuke of those seeking signs. The Spanish 'reuniéndose' and French 's'assembler' capture the gathering motion, while the context suggests a swelling, pressing crowd. Jesus responds to this growing assembly by calling them 'an evil generation' seeking signs when the only sign to be given is that of Jonah. 1×
