Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: The Greek name Ἰησοῦς is derived from the Hebrew name יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Yehoshua), which is a combination of two elements: "Yah," a shortened form of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), and "yasha," meaning "to save" or "to deliver."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Hebrew entry for Ἰησοῦς is Strong's Hebrew 3091, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (Yehoshua), which is the original form of the name Joshua, meaning "Yahweh is salvation."

Usage: The name Ἰησοῦς is used in the New Testament primarily to refer to Jesus of Nazareth, the central figure of Christianity, believed to be the Messiah and the Son of God. It is also used for other individuals, such as Jesus Barabbas and Jesus, called Justus.

Context: Ἰησοῦς is the Greek form of the name Joshua, which appears in the New Testament as the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure of the New Testament, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies as the promised Messiah. His life, death, and resurrection are the foundation of Christian faith, emphasizing themes of redemption, salvation, and the establishment of God's kingdom.

The New Testament presents Jesus as both fully divine and fully human, a unique union known as the hypostatic union. Key events in His life include His miraculous birth (Matthew 1:21), His baptism by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:13-17), His teachings and miracles (Matthew 5-7; John 2:1-11), His crucifixion (Matthew 27:32-56), and His resurrection (Matthew 28:1-10).

Jesus' teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount, emphasize love, forgiveness, and the coming of God's kingdom. His parables and miracles demonstrate His authority and compassion. The Gospels portray Jesus as the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, the ultimate revelation of God's love and grace.

The name Ἰησοῦς is also used in the New Testament to refer to other individuals, such as Jesus Barabbas, a prisoner released instead of Christ (Matthew 27:16-17), and Jesus, called Justus, a companion of Paul (Colossians 4:11).
