παρέρχομαι

Matthew 5:18 παρέλθῃ παρέλθῃ may pass away

For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Here: 'Should pass away': here, the passing of the created world. The same verb comes back below for a letter passing out of the Law, so the two clauses deliberately echo each other.

Matthew 8:28 παρελθεῖν to pass

When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

Here: To travel past or through. Ordinary traffic on the route had stopped.

Matthew 14:15 παρῆλθεν· is gone by;

When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

Here: "Has gone by." The time has passed them by: the day is spent, and with it perhaps the normal mealtime. "It's late" captures the feeling but loses the picture of time slipping past.

Matthew 24:34 παρέλθῃ may have passed away

Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

Here: Literally 'go past'. Said of people, it means to pass off the scene, to die out. The subjunctive form here comes from the οὐ μή construction and does not mean 'may' in the sense of possibility.

Matthew 24:35 παρελεύσεται, παρέλθωσιν.¶ will pass away,, may pass away.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Here: 'Will pass away', future tense. The verb is singular even though it has two subjects, so heaven-and-earth is treated as one unit: the whole created order will come to an end. It is the same verb as v.34 ('this generation will not pass away') and the end of this verse, which ties the three statements together.

Matthew 26:39 παρελθάτω should pass

Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

Here: A third-person command used as a request: "let it pass." The picture is of the cup going past him without his having to drink it.

Matthew 26:42 παρελθεῖν to pass

A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

Here: "To go past": the picture is a cup carried past him at the table instead of being handed to him. In v. 39 he asked, "let it pass from me". Here he grants that it may not pass.

Mark 6:48 παρελθεῖν to pass by

He could see that the disciples were straining to row, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,

Mark 13:30 παρέλθῃ may have passed away

Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

Here: Said of a generation, it means to go by and be gone, that is, to die out. The same verb comes back twice in the next verse: heaven and earth 'will pass away', Jesus' words 'will not pass away'.

Mark 13:31 παρελεύσονται, παρελεύσονται.¶ will pass away,, will pass away.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Here: Future tense, 'will pass by / go past': will come to an end and be gone. It is the same verb as 'pass away' in v. 30 ('this generation will not pass away'). Here it is said plainly of the whole created order.

Mark 14:35 παρέλθῃ it shall pass

Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

Luke 11:42 παρέρχεσθε you pass by

Woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.

Here: Present tense, habitual: you keep walking past. The picture is of going right by something without stopping, so they disregard justice and love while busy with the herbs.

Luke 12:37 παρελθὼν having come up

Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them.

Here: 'Coming up to them', or 'going along from one to another'. It pictures the master walking up beside the couches as a waiter does.

Luke 15:29 παρῆλθον, I disobeyed,

But he answered his father, ‘Look, all these years I have served you and never disobeyed a commandment of yours. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.

Here: Literally 'pass by' a command, meaning to step past it, disregard it or break it. He claims a spotless record, in wording close to the Greek of Deut 26:13.

Luke 16:17 παρελθεῖν to pass away

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.

Here: 'To go past' and so 'to come to an end, vanish'. The aorist form treats the vanishing as one complete event. The same verb comes in Luke 21:33: 'Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.'

Luke 17:7 παρελθὼν having come

Which of you whose servant comes in from plowing or shepherding in the field will say to him, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’?

Here: 'Coming over (here).' It pictures the slave being called over to the table area where free diners lay, instead of going off to the cooking fire.

Luke 18:37 παρέρχεται. is passing by.

“Jesus of Nazareth is passing by,” they told him.

Luke 21:32 παρέλθῃ may have passed away

Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have happened.

Here: Literally 'go past'. Used of time running out and of things ceasing to exist. Here it means the generation will not die off or come to an end before the events happen. The same verb comes back twice in the next verse.

Luke 21:33 παρελεύσονται, παρελεύσονται. will pass away,, will pass away.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Here: "Will pass by, will come to an end." A plain future statement: the present created order is not permanent. Jesus has just used the same verb of "this generation" (v. 32), so the words are linked in a chain.

Acts 16:8 παρελθόντες having passed by

So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.

Acts 27:9 παρεληλυθέναι, being over,

By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,

2 Corinthians 5:17 παρῆλθεν, have passed away,

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!

Here: Aorist (simple past). It presents the passing as one decisive event, tied to Christ's death in v. 14. Elsewhere it is used for heaven and earth passing away (Matt 5:18; 24:35).

James 1:10 παρελεύσεται. he will pass away.

But the one who is rich should exult in his low position, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.

Here: Future tense: 'he will pass away', meaning disappear or perish. The subject is the rich man himself, not just his money. Verse 11 makes this explicit: 'the rich man will fade away'.

1 Peter 4:3 παρεληλυθὼς having past

For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry.

Here: Perfect participle: the time that has gone by and is now closed. That period is finished business, not something still running.

2 Peter 3:10 παρελεύσονται, will pass away,

But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare.

Here: 'Will pass away, will go by and be gone.' It echoes Jesus' saying 'Heaven and earth will pass away' (Mark 13:31). The present order of the heavens ends.
