Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek noun σταυρός (stauros), meaning "cross."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek verb σταυρόω, the concept of crucifixion and its theological implications can be related to Hebrew terms associated with sacrifice and atonement, such as זֶבַח (zebach, Strong's 2077) for "sacrifice" and כָּפַר (kaphar, Strong's 3722) for "to atone." These terms reflect the sacrificial system and the idea of atonement that are fulfilled in the New Testament through the crucifixion of Jesus.

Usage: The verb σταυρόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of crucifixion, particularly in reference to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It conveys the physical act of fastening someone to a cross as a form of capital punishment.

Context: The term σταυρόω is central to the New Testament narrative, especially in the Gospels, where it describes the method of execution used by the Romans to put Jesus Christ to death. This act of crucifixion is pivotal in Christian theology, symbolizing the atoning sacrifice of Jesus for the sins of humanity. The verb appears in various contexts, often highlighting the suffering and humiliation associated with this form of execution.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used in passages such as Matthew 27:35, "When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots," and Mark 15:25, "It was the third hour when they crucified Him." These verses emphasize the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the significance of Jesus' death in the salvation narrative.

Theologically, σταυρόω is not only a historical reference but also a metaphorical one, as seen in Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." Here, the term is used to express the believer's identification with Christ's death and resurrection, signifying a transformation and new life in Christ.

The act of crucifixion, as described by σταυρόω, was a brutal and public form of execution, intended to serve as a deterrent and a display of Roman authority. For early Christians, the cross, once a symbol of shame, became a symbol of victory and redemption through the resurrection of Jesus.
