Buttmann, 17 (15)), ὁ, Latin Crescens, an unknown man: 2 Timothy 4:10. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Latin name "Crescens," which means "growing" or "increasing."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Κρήσκης, as it is a proper noun of Latin origin and specific to the New Testament context. Usage: The name Κρήσκης appears once in the New Testament, specifically in the context of Paul's epistles. Context: Crescens is a Christian figure mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in the Apostle Paul's second letter to Timothy. In 2 Timothy 4:10, Paul writes, "For Demas, in his love of this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia." This brief mention indicates that Crescens was one of Paul's associates or fellow workers in the early Christian mission. The context suggests that Crescens was entrusted with a mission to Galatia, a region in Asia Minor, which implies a level of trust and responsibility placed upon him by Paul. The absence of further details about Crescens in the biblical text leaves much about his life and ministry to tradition and speculation. However, his inclusion in Paul's letter highlights the collaborative nature of early Christian evangelism and the network of believers who supported the apostolic mission.
