of theology: The word coincidence is used only once in the New Testament, and it was
by Jesus Himself in the parable of the Good Samaritan. In Luke 10:31, Jesus said, And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that
way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side. The word coincidence is translated from the Greek word synkyrian, which is a
combination of two words: sun and kurios. Sun means together with, and kurious means supreme in authority. So a biblical definition of
coincidence would be what occurs together by Gods providential arrangement of circumstances.
