Strong's Lexicon télikoutos: Such great, so great, so large Original Word: τηλικοῦτος Word Origin: A compound of τήλε (tēle, meaning "far" or "distant") and οὗτος (houtos, meaning "this" or "that"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for τηλικοῦτος, the concept of greatness or magnitude can be found in Hebrew words like גָּדוֹל (gadol, Strong's H1419), meaning "great" or "large." Usage: The Greek adjective τηλικοῦτος (télikoutos) is used to express the magnitude or extent of something, often in terms of size, age, or degree. It emphasizes the greatness or significance of the subject it describes. In the New Testament, it is used to highlight the remarkable nature of an event or characteristic. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, adjectives like τηλικοῦτος were employed to convey the grandeur or importance of a person, event, or object. This term would have resonated with audiences familiar with rhetoric that emphasized the extraordinary or noteworthy aspects of a subject. In the context of the New Testament, such language underscores the remarkable nature of God's works and the profound impact of the Gospel.
