STRONGS NT 491: Ἀντιοχεύς

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from Ἀντιόχεια (Antioch), a prominent city in ancient Syria.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Ἀντιοχεύς, as it is a term specific to the Greek context of the New Testament and the city of Antioch. However, the concept of a city or region's inhabitants can be related to various Hebrew terms for people groups or residents, such as יֹשֵׁב (yoshév) meaning "inhabitant" or "dweller."

Usage: The term Ἀντιοχεύς is used in the New Testament to refer to individuals from the city of Antioch. It is specifically mentioned in the context of early Christian communities and missionary activities.

Context: The term Ἀντιοχεύς appears in the New Testament in relation to the city of Antioch, which was a significant center for early Christianity. Antioch, located in the region of Syria, was one of the largest cities of the Roman Empire and played a crucial role in the spread of the Gospel. It was in Antioch that the followers of Jesus were first called "Christians" (Acts 11:26, BSB). The city served as a base for the Apostle Paul's missionary journeys and was a melting pot of cultures and ideas, making it an ideal location for the early church to grow and thrive.

The presence of Ἀντιοχεύς in the New Testament highlights the diverse and expansive nature of the early Christian movement. The church in Antioch was known for its vibrant community and its role in sending out missionaries, including Paul and Barnabas, to spread the message of Christ to the Gentile world (Acts 13:1-3, BSB). This reflects the fulfillment of the Great Commission, as the Gospel began to reach beyond the Jewish population to all nations.

Antioch's strategic location and its status as a cultural and economic hub made it a pivotal city for the dissemination of Christian teachings. The term Ἀντιοχεύς, therefore, not only identifies a person from Antioch but also signifies the broader impact of the city's Christian community on the early church's mission and growth.
