ἐγγύς

Matthew 24:32 ἐγγὺς near [is]

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

Here: 'Near', placed first for emphasis. Summer is close but has not yet arrived. Leaves show that it is coming. They do not give its date.

Matthew 24:33 ἐγγύς near

So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

Here: An adverb used as the predicate: '[it/he] is near'. It can mean near in place or near in time, and the 'doors' image keeps both in view: close enough to be standing at the entrance. It matches 'summer is near' in verse 32 (the supplied data tags it PREP; it works here as an adverb).

Matthew 26:18 ἐγγύς near

He answered, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him that the Teacher says, ‘My time is near. I will keep the Passover with My disciples at your house.’”

Here: An adverb used here as the predicate, "is near". Matthew uses "near" for the kingdom and for the end (3:2; 24:32–33), and soon for the hour of betrayal (26:45–46).

Mark 13:28 ἐγγὺς near

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its branches become tender and sprout leaves, you know that summer is near.

Mark 13:29 ἐγγύς near

So also, when you see these things happening, know that He is near, right at the door.

Luke 19:11 ἐγγὺς near

While the people were listening to this, Jesus proceeded to tell them a parable, because He was near Jerusalem and they thought the kingdom of God would appear imminently.

Luke 21:30 ἐγγὺς near

When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near.

Luke 21:31 ἐγγύς near

So also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.

John 2:13 ἐγγὺς near

When the Jewish Passover was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Here: Used here of time: the festival was coming up soon. John uses the same phrase to introduce later festivals (6:4; 7:2; 11:55), so the line works like a heading in his calendar of feasts.

John 3:23 ἐγγὺς near

Now John was also baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because the water was plentiful there, and people kept coming to be baptized.

Here: Places the little-known Aenon by reference to a better-known town, Salim.

John 6:4 ἐγγὺς near

Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

Here: Near in time: the festival was coming up soon. John uses the same phrase for the other Passovers (2:13; 11:55) and for Tabernacles (7:2).

John 6:19 ἐγγὺς near

When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the sea—and they were terrified.

Here: 'Near the boat'. The figure is not far off on the horizon but closing the gap.

John 6:23 ἐγγὺς near

However, some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

Here: "Near." Here it works like a preposition taking the genitive. The boats came close to the feeding site, which is why the stranded crowd could use them (v. 24).

John 7:2 ἐγγὺς near

However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

Here: Near in time: the festival was coming up soon. John uses the same phrase, 'was near', for festivals in 2:13, 6:4 and 11:55, so it works as a marker of the festival calendar that structures his account.

John 11:18 ἐγγὺς near

Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, a little less than two miles away,

Here: 'Close to', in space. In John's story, closeness to Jerusalem also means closeness to the authorities who want Jesus dead (11:8, 16).

John 11:54 ἐγγὺς near

As a result, Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but He withdrew to a town called Ephraim in an area near the wilderness. And He stayed there with the disciples.

Here: Places the region on the edge of the desert.

John 11:55 ἐγγὺς near

Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem to purify themselves before the Passover.

Here: Used as an adverb with "was": the feast was close in time. John opens with the same words at 2:13 and 6:4, so it works as his signal that a Passover is coming.

John 19:20 ἐγγὺς near

Many of the Jews read this sign, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

Here: 'Near', taking 'the city' as its object. Golgotha was outside the walls but close by, within easy reach of the crowds.

John 19:42 ἐγγὺς near

And because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they placed Jesus there.

Here: Near the place of crucifixion (19:41). Placed before the verb for emphasis: it was *close*, so it could be reached before sunset.

Acts 1:12 ἐγγὺς near

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

Here: Close to Jerusalem. Luke stresses how near it is, which the Sabbath-distance phrase then measures.

Acts 9:38 ἐγγὺς Near

Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”

Here: Physical nearness. Coming first in the sentence, it gives the reason for what follows: Peter was close enough to fetch.

Acts 27:8 ἐγγὺς near

After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

Romans 10:8 ἐγγύς Near

But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

Here: Placed first for emphasis: near, close at hand. It answers the impossible journeys to heaven and the abyss: nothing has to be fetched from far away.

Ephesians 2:13 ἐγγὺς near

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.

Here: 'Near'. In Israel's language this word stood for the privileged position of God's people and priests, those allowed to approach. The outsiders now hold the insiders' place.

Ephesians 2:17 ἐγγύς, [who are] near,

He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

Here: 'Near' means Israel, the people already brought close to God through covenant, Torah and temple (compare Psalm 148:14, 'a people near to him'). The verse does not treat them as needing nothing. They too receive peace, and in 2:16 both groups are reconciled to God.

Philippians 4:5 ἐγγύς. [is] near.

Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.

Here: 'Near'. Greek leaves out the verb 'is'. The word can mean near in time (his coming is close) or near in place (he is close at hand). Here both are probably meant.

Hebrews 6:8 ἐγγύς, near to,

But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.

Here: "Near to a curse." The curse has not yet fallen, but it is close. Hebrews uses the same phrasing in 8:13 for something about to vanish, so the sense leans toward "on the verge of".

Hebrews 8:13 ἐγγὺς [is] near

By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

Here: An adverb used here with a genitive noun: "near to". It means being close to an end, and implies the end is coming soon. Hebrews 6:8 uses the same construction for land that is "near to a curse".

Revelation 1:3 ἐγγύς.¶ near.

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.

Here: Close at hand. The sentence has no verb, which makes it terse and urgent: 'the time, near!'

Revelation 22:10 ἐγγύς near

Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near.

Here: Close at hand, here in the sense of time. It repeats the book's opening line (1:3) word for word and goes with the repeated "I am coming soon" (22:7, 12, 20).
