sunantao describes encountering someone, whether a person approaches another or a crowd comes out to meet him.

The attested use describes an encounter in which one party meets or comes upon another: individuals meet Peter, Abraham, or a designated man, while a great crowd meets Jesus. The future participle in Acts 20:22 places such encounters among the unspecified events awaiting Paul in Jerusalem.

1. Encountering or coming to meet someone · dominant

   This use covers both an individual approaching another and a group coming out to meet someone. In Acts 10:25 the APB renders Cornelius' approach to Peter as "met him," and in Luke 9:37 it renders the great crowd's approach after the descent from the mountain as "met him." Hebrews 7:1 and Hebrews 7:10 likewise place the action in Melchizedek's encounter with Abraham.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB regularly presents the encounter with "met" or "will meet." In Acts 20:22, the future participle is reflected more broadly in "what will happen to me there," so its specific contribution is less directly isolated in the translation.
