εἰσπορεύω

Matthew 15:17 εἰσπορευόμενον entering

“Do you not yet realize that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then is eliminated?

Here: "Going in." Present participle, picturing the ongoing, everyday act of eating. It is the mirror image of ἐκπορευόμενα ("going out") in verse 18; the whole argument turns on what goes in versus what comes out.

Mark 1:21 εἰσπορεύονται they go

Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.

Here: A present-tense verb used for a past event ("they go in"). Mark does this often to make a scene feel like it is happening in front of the listener. "They" means Jesus and the four fishermen just called in 1:16–20.

Mark 4:19 εἰσπορευόμεναι entering in

but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

Here: Present participle: these things keep 'coming in'. The picture is of thorns invading the plot, of things gradually moving into a person's life and taking up room.

Mark 5:40 εἰσπορεύεται enters in

And they laughed at Him. After He had put them all outside, He took the child’s father and mother and His own companions, and went in to see the child.

Mark 6:56 εἰσεπορεύετο He was entering

And wherever He went—villages and towns and countrysides—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him just to let them touch the fringe of His cloak. And all who touched Him were healed.

Here: 'He would go into.' The imperfect tense (ongoing or repeated past action) shows a tour from place to place, entry after entry.

Mark 7:15 εἰσπορευόμενον entering

Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him; but the things that come out of a man, these are what defile him.”

Here: Present participle, "going in": the ongoing passage of something (in context, food eaten with unwashed hands) into the body. It mirrors ekporeuomena ("going out") later in the verse: the same verb with opposite prefixes.

Mark 7:18 εἰσπορευόμενον entering

“Are you still so dull?” He asked. “Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him,

Here: Present participle: whatever is going in. In context this means food going in through the mouth, and it is answered in v20 by its mirror word ekporeuomenon, 'what comes out.'

Mark 7:19 εἰσπορεύεται it enters

because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated.” (Thus all foods are clean.)

Mark 11:2 εἰσπορευόμενοι entering

and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

Here: Present participle: 'as you are going in'. The finding happens at the moment of entry.

Luke 8:16 εἰσπορευόμενοι entering in

No one lights a lamp and covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

Here: 'Those coming in.' The present tense pictures people arriving one after another: guests, neighbours, anyone who steps through the door. The light is for them, not only for the people already inside.

Luke 11:33 εἰσπορευόμενοι entering in

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.

Here: A present participle: whoever keeps coming in through the door. The light is there for anyone who enters, not only the family inside. The same wording appears in Luke's other version of this saying (8:16).

Luke 18:24 εἰσπορεύονται. they enter.

Seeing the man’s sadness, Jesus said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!

Here: Present tense, 'are entering'. Luke's wording differs from Mark's 'will enter'. It states a standing truth that is already true now, not only a forecast about the end.

Luke 19:30 εἰσπορευόμενοι entering

saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.

Luke 22:10 εἰσπορεύεται· he enters;

He answered, “When you enter the city, a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him to the house he enters,

Acts 3:2 εἰσπορευομένων were going

And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.

Here: 'Those going in': the stream of worshippers going in. At the ninth hour (about 3 p.m., the afternoon sacrifice and prayer) this was one of the heaviest crowds of the day.

Acts 8:3 εἰσπορευόμενος, entering,

But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.

Here: Present participle: 'going into' homes again and again. Forcing entry into a household was an act of serious shame and intimidation in that culture.

Acts 9:28 εἰσπορευόμενος coming in

So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.

Acts 28:30 εἰσπορευομένους coming

Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him.

Here: Present participle: people 'coming in', a steady flow of visitors. It pictures people stepping into his quarters, which matters because he could not go out to them.
