διέρχομαι

Dierchomai means to pass through, travel through, or go across. The verb often highlights a route rather than a final destination. Jesus describes an unclean spirit passing through waterless places. Luke locates Jesus' journey to Jerusalem through the border region of Samaria and Galilee. Persecuted believers travel through Phoenicia and Cyprus while speaking the word.

Paul passes successively through Galatia and Phrygia to strengthen disciples. Hebrews declares that Jesus has passed through the heavens as the great High Priest. These passages join ordinary travel, spiritual imagery, missionary movement, and exalted priestly access without making them interchangeable. The route, traveler, and purpose must remain explicit. The word can illuminate persevering passage, but the theological claim comes from the narrative or argument, especially Hebrews' confession of the ascended Son.

Dierchomai focuses on passage through an intervening region or realm: a roaming spirit, Jesus traveling toward Jerusalem, scattered witnesses carrying the word, Paul strengthening churches along a route, and the Son passing through the heavens as High Priest.
