Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ἄμπελος (ampelos), meaning "vine."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a vineyard is כֶּרֶם (kerem), Strong's Hebrew 3754, which similarly denotes a vineyard or a cultivated area for growing grapes.

Usage: The term ἀμπελών is used in the New Testament to refer to a vineyard, often symbolically representing Israel, the Kingdom of God, or a place of labor and fruitfulness. It appears in various parables and teachings of Jesus.

Context: The Greek term ἀμπελών (ampelōn) is frequently used in the New Testament to describe a vineyard, a significant agricultural setting in ancient Israel. Vineyards were central to the economy and culture, symbolizing prosperity, blessing, and divine favor. In the biblical narrative, vineyards often serve as metaphors for God's relationship with His people.

In the Gospels, Jesus uses the imagery of a vineyard in several parables to convey spiritual truths. For instance, in the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), the vineyard represents the Kingdom of Heaven, where the landowner (God) hires laborers (believers) to work. The parable emphasizes God's grace and the equality of all who enter His kingdom.

Another significant parable is the Parable of the Wicked Tenants (Matthew 21:33-41; Mark 12:1-9; Luke 20:9-16), where the vineyard symbolizes Israel. The landowner (God) entrusts the vineyard to tenants (Israel's leaders), who fail to produce fruit and mistreat the servants (prophets) sent to them. This parable highlights themes of judgment and the transfer of God's kingdom to those who will bear its fruits.

The vineyard imagery also appears in John 15:1-8, where Jesus declares, "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser." Here, the vineyard metaphor illustrates the intimate relationship between Christ and His followers, emphasizing the necessity of abiding in Him to bear spiritual fruit.

The use of ἀμπελών in these contexts underscores the importance of faithfulness, stewardship, and the consequences of rejecting God's messengers. It serves as a powerful reminder of the blessings and responsibilities associated with being part of God's covenant community.
