Proleg., p. 505f; Chandler § 32)), Artemas, a friend of Paul the apostle: Titus 3:12. (Cf. B. D. under the word.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek name Ἄρτεμις (Artemis), which is associated with the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and childbirth.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek name Artemas, as it is a proper noun of Greek origin and not derived from Hebrew. However, the concept of a trusted messenger or worker in the faith can be related to various Hebrew terms for servants or messengers, such as מַלְאָךְ (mal'akh, Strong's Hebrew 4397), meaning "messenger" or "angel." Usage: Artemas is mentioned once in the New Testament, specifically in the context of Paul's epistles. Context: Artemas is a Christian mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in the Epistle to Titus. In Titus 3:12, the Apostle Paul writes, "As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me in Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there" (BSB). This brief mention indicates that Artemas was a trusted associate of Paul, considered capable of taking over responsibilities in Crete, where Titus was serving. The context suggests that Artemas was a reliable and faithful worker in the early Christian church, entrusted with significant duties. Although little is known about his background or subsequent activities, his inclusion in Paul's plans highlights his importance in the early Christian missionary efforts. The mention of Artemas alongside Tychicus, another prominent figure in the early church, underscores his standing and reliability.
