STRONGS NT 4986: Σώπατρος

Σώπατρος, Σωπατρου, (cf. Winers Grammar, 103 (97)), Sopater, a Christian, one of Paul's companions: Acts 20:4. (See Σωσίπατρος.)

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words σῶς (sōs), meaning "safe" or "sound," and πατήρ (patēr), meaning "father."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Σώπατρος (Sopater) in the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the New Testament context.

Usage: The name Sopater appears in the New Testament as a Christian from Berea who accompanied the Apostle Paul on his journey.

Context: Sopater is mentioned in the New Testament in the Book of Acts. He is identified as a native of Berea, a city in Macedonia, and is noted for his association with the Apostle Paul. In Acts 20:4, Sopater is listed among several companions who traveled with Paul from Greece to Asia Minor. The passage reads: "He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia." (Acts 20:4, BSB)

Sopater's inclusion in this group suggests he was a trusted and valued member of the early Christian community. His journey with Paul indicates his commitment to the mission of spreading the Gospel and supporting the early Church. The mention of his father's name, Pyrrhus, may imply a notable family background, although further details about his life and activities are not provided in the biblical text.

The presence of Sopater in the narrative highlights the diverse and collaborative nature of the early Christian missionary efforts, with individuals from various regions and backgrounds coming together to support the apostolic mission.
