In summary, πέντε is a fundamental numeral in the Greek New Testament, appearing in contexts that often carry deeper theological and symbolic meanings. Its usage in key narratives highlights themes of divine provision, wisdom, and the dynamics of human relationships.

Usage: The term πέντε is used in the New Testament to denote the number five. It appears in various contexts, often in narratives involving counting or listing items, people, or events.

Context: The Greek word πέντε is a cardinal number used frequently in the New Testament. It appears in several key passages, often highlighting the significance of the number five in biblical narratives. For instance, in the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus uses five loaves of bread to perform a miracle of multiplication (Matthew 14:17, Mark 6:38, Luke 9:13, John 6:9). This event underscores themes of divine provision and abundance.

Another notable usage is found in the parable of the ten virgins, where five are wise and five are foolish (Matthew 25:2). This parable emphasizes preparedness and wisdom in anticipation of the kingdom of heaven. The number five also appears in the context of familial relationships, as seen in Luke 12:52, where Jesus speaks of division within a household of five members.

The use of πέντε in these contexts often carries symbolic weight, reflecting completeness or a division of halves, as seen in the parable of the virgins. The number five can also represent grace and God's goodness, as demonstrated in the miraculous feeding narratives.
