Strong's Lexicon neaniskos: Young man Original Word: νεανίσκος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word νέος (neos), meaning "new" or "young." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is נַעַר (na'ar), which also means "young man" or "youth." Usage: The term "neaniskos" refers to a young man, typically in the prime of life, often characterized by strength, vigor, and potential. In the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who are not yet fully mature but are beyond childhood. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, young men were often seen as the embodiment of potential and future leadership. They were expected to be physically strong, courageous, and prepared to take on responsibilities. In Jewish culture, young men were also seen as vital members of the community, often involved in learning and preparing for adult roles in society and religious life.
