Notes: συναλίζομαι in RV ACT 1:4 · LV ACT 1:4 · Read together ACT 1:4 is interpreted by some as being συναλίζομαι [source selector 000001][b] to stay with (41.37: συναλίζομαι) on the assumption that the occurrence in RV ACT 1:4 · LV ACT 1:4 · Read together ACT 1:4 is simply an alternative spelling for συναυλίζομαι to stay with. This latter reading is supported by some manuscripts.

Sense 2: to live with, to be in fellowship with

Semantic entry: 41.37

Semantic domains: Behavior and Related States

Subdomains: Particular Patterns of Behavior

Definition: to live in fellowship with others (a meaning of συναλίζομαι in view of its being regarded as a variant of συναυλίζομαι ‘to be with, to stay with,’ not occurring in the NT)

Notes: συναλίζομαι in the sense of ‘to be together in fellowship’ fits well in the context of RV ACT 1:4 · LV ACT 1:4 · Read together ACT 1:4, but this meaning would seem to be somewhat alien to general Greek usage, and therefore συναλίζομαι is more frequently understood in the context of RV ACT 1:4 · LV ACT 1:4 · Read together ACT 1:4 as meaning ‘to be eating with’ (see 23.13: συναλίζομαι).
