Original Word: μαθητεύω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: mathéteuó
Pronunciation: math-ayt-yoo'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (math-ayt-yoo'-o)
Definition: To make a disciple, to teach, to instruct.
Meaning: I make a disciple of, train in discipleship; pass: I am trained, discipled, instructed.

Word Origin: Derived from μαθητής (mathétés), meaning "disciple" or "learner."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μαθητεύω, the concept of teaching and instruction can be related to Hebrew words like לָמַד (lamad, Strong's H3925), which means "to learn" or "to teach."

Usage: The verb μαθητεύω (mathéteuó) primarily means to make someone a disciple or to instruct them in the ways of a teacher. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the process of teaching and guiding individuals to become followers of Jesus Christ. This involves not only imparting knowledge but also shaping the character and life of the learner to align with the teachings of Christ.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, discipleship was a common practice where students would attach themselves to a teacher to learn philosophy, rhetoric, or other disciplines. In the Jewish context, discipleship involved a close relationship between a rabbi and his students, where the students would learn the Torah and the rabbi's interpretation of it. Jesus adopted this model, calling His followers to be His disciples, learning from Him and living according to His teachings.
