Strong's Lexicon mathétés: Disciple, learner, pupil Original Word: μαθητής Word Origin: From the verb μανθάνω (manthanō), meaning "to learn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a disciple can be related to the Hebrew word תַּלְמִיד (talmid), which also means student or disciple. Usage: The term "mathétés" primarily refers to a disciple or follower, someone who learns from a teacher. In the New Testament, it is most commonly used to describe the followers of Jesus Christ, who were committed to learning from His teachings and emulating His life. The word implies a relationship of learning and adherence to the teachings of a master. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, a "mathétés" was someone who attached themselves to a teacher or philosopher to learn their teachings and way of life. This concept was not unique to Christianity; it was a common practice in various philosophical schools. However, in the context of the New Testament, being a disciple of Jesus involved not only intellectual learning but also a transformative way of living that reflected the values and mission of Christ.
