Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὕστερον, similar concepts of timing and sequence can be found in Hebrew words like אַחַר (achar, Strong's H310), meaning "after" or "behind," and אַחֲרִית (acharit, Strong's H319), meaning "end" or "latter time." These terms convey a similar sense of subsequent events or later times in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Usage: The word ὕστερον is used in the New Testament to denote a subsequent time or event. It is often translated as "later" or "afterward" in English Bible translations.

Context: Contextual Analysis: In the New Testament, ὕστερον is used to describe events that occur after a certain point in time, often highlighting a sequence or progression. It can be found in narrative contexts where the timing of events is significant to the unfolding story or teaching.
Theological Significance: The use of ὕστερον can emphasize the fulfillment of prophecy, the progression of Jesus' ministry, or the unfolding of God's plan. It underscores the importance of timing in God's redemptive history.
Examples in Scripture:
Matthew 21:29 (BSB): "The son answered, ‘I will not,’ but later (ὕστερον) he changed his mind and went."
Matthew 21:32 (BSB): "For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even after (ὕστερον) you saw this, you did not repent and believe him."
Hebrews 12:11 (BSB): "No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on (ὕστερον), however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it."
Linguistic Notes: The term is often used in contrast to earlier events or decisions, highlighting a change or development. It can also imply a sense of urgency or importance regarding the timing of events.
