Strong's Lexicon Trophimos: Trophimus Original Word: Τρόφιμος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "trophē," meaning "nourishment" or "food." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the name Trophimus, as it is a Greek name specific to the New Testament context. Usage: Trophimus is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to a specific individual, a companion of the Apostle Paul. He is mentioned as a believer from Asia, specifically from Ephesus, who accompanied Paul on his missionary journeys. Cultural and Historical Background: Trophimus was a Gentile Christian from Ephesus, a major city in the Roman province of Asia (modern-day Turkey). Ephesus was a significant center for early Christianity and a place where Paul spent considerable time preaching and teaching. As a Gentile, Trophimus represents the inclusion of non-Jews into the early Christian community, a key theme in the New Testament. His presence with Paul in Jerusalem led to a misunderstanding that contributed to Paul's arrest, highlighting the tensions between Jewish and Gentile believers in the early church.
