STRONGS NT 3127: Μαναήν

Μαναήν, (מְנַחֵם, consoler), Manaen, a certain prophet in the church at Antioch: Acts 13:1. (See Hackett in B. D., under the word.)

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, derived from the Hebrew name מְנַחֵם (Menahem), meaning "comforter" or "consoler."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek name Μαναήν (Manaen) corresponds to the Hebrew name מְנַחֵם (Menahem), which is Strong's Hebrew entry 4505. Menahem is a name found in the Old Testament, notably as the name of a king of Israel who reigned in the 8th century BC.

Usage: The name Manaen appears once in the New Testament, specifically in the Book of Acts.

Context: Manaen is mentioned in the New Testament in Acts 13:1. He is described as one of the prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states: "Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul." This passage highlights Manaen's significant role in the early Christian community. Notably, Manaen is identified as having been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, also known as Herod Antipas, who was a ruler of Galilee and Perea during the time of Jesus. This connection suggests that Manaen had a background of influence and possibly wealth, which he later used in service to the early church. His inclusion among the prophets and teachers at Antioch indicates his respected position and contribution to the spread of Christianity.
