Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words ἑκατόν (hekaton), meaning "hundred," and πλάσιος (plasios), meaning "fold" or "times."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἑκατονταπλασίων in the Old Testament. However, the concept of manifold blessings or rewards can be related to Hebrew terms that express multiplication or increase, such as מֵאָה (me'ah, Strong's H3967) for "hundred" and רַב (rav, Strong's H7227) for "many" or "much." These terms are used in various contexts to describe abundance or increase, similar to the New Testament usage of ἑκατονταπλασίων.

Usage: This term is used in the New Testament to describe a multiplication or increase by a factor of one hundred. It is often used in the context of blessings or rewards.

Context: The Greek term ἑκατονταπλασίων appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the abundant rewards or returns promised to those who make sacrifices for the sake of the Kingdom of God. It is notably used in the Synoptic Gospels, where Jesus assures His followers that their sacrifices will be rewarded manifold.

In Matthew 19:29 (BSB), Jesus states, "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for My sake will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life." Here, ἑκατονταπλασίων underscores the promise of substantial spiritual and, potentially, material blessings for those who prioritize their commitment to Christ over earthly ties.

Similarly, in Mark 10:30 (BSB), the term is used to convey the same promise of abundant recompense: "will receive a hundredfold in this age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields, along with persecutions, and in the age to come, eternal life." This passage highlights the comprehensive nature of the reward, encompassing both present and future blessings, albeit with the acknowledgment of accompanying challenges.

The use of ἑκατονταπλασίων in these passages serves to reassure believers of the immeasurable value and ultimate gain of their devotion and sacrifices for the Gospel. It reflects a principle of divine reciprocity, where earthly sacrifices are met with divine generosity.
