This verb describes traveling to a place or journeying toward a destination. In Luke 8:4, crowds are journeying to Jesus from various cities, coming together to hear him teach. Classical usage included both literal travel and metaphorical traversing (as of a thought running through the mind). The Septuagint used it for going before an assembly. The multilingual evidence shows interpretive variation: Spanish 'que-acudían' (who gathered), French venir (to come), suggesting translators understood this as crowds converging on Jesus rather than merely passing through.
