Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from Μακεδονία (Makedonia), referring to the region of Macedonia in the northern part of ancient Greece.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Μακεδών, as it is a term specific to the Greek language and culture, referring to a geographical and ethnic identity not directly paralleled in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the concept of regional identity and the spread of faith across different cultures can be seen in various narratives throughout the Bible.

Usage: The term Μακεδών is used in the New Testament to refer to individuals from the region of Macedonia. It appears in contexts that highlight the geographical and cultural background of certain people mentioned in the biblical narrative.

Context: Μακεδών, or Macedonian, refers to individuals originating from the ancient region of Macedonia, which played a significant role in the spread of the early Christian church. Macedonia was a Roman province located in the northern part of Greece, known for its strategic location and cultural influence. The region is historically significant due to its association with figures such as Alexander the Great and its role in the expansion of Hellenistic culture.

In the New Testament, Macedonia is notable for being one of the first regions in Europe where the Apostle Paul established Christian communities. The Macedonian churches, including those in Philippi, Thessalonica, and Berea, are frequently mentioned in Paul's epistles. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) records several instances where Macedonians are referenced, highlighting their faith and generosity. For example, in 2 Corinthians 8:1-2 (BSB), Paul commends the Macedonian churches for their abundant joy and generosity despite their trials and poverty.

The Macedonians are also noted for their eagerness to support the Jerusalem church financially, as seen in Romans 15:26 (BSB), where Paul mentions the contributions made by the believers in Macedonia and Achaia. This reflects the strong sense of unity and fellowship among early Christians, transcending regional and cultural boundaries.
