Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the verb μανθάνω (manthanō), meaning "to learn."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μαθητής, the concept of a disciple or learner can be related to the Hebrew term תַּלְמִיד (talmid), which also means student or disciple. This term is not found in the Old Testament but is used in later Jewish literature to describe a student of the Torah or a rabbi. Usage: The term μαθητής is used extensively in the New Testament to describe the followers of Jesus. It appears in various contexts, including the calling of the twelve disciples, the broader group of Jesus' followers, and those who adhere to the teachings of other leaders. Context: The term μαθητής is a central concept in the New Testament, reflecting the relationship between Jesus and His followers. It signifies more than just a student; it implies a committed follower who seeks to emulate the teacher's life and teachings. In the Gospels, the twelve disciples are often referred to as μαθηταί (plural of μαθητής), highlighting their role as Jesus' closest followers who were chosen to learn directly from Him and to carry on His mission.
