Usage: The term βαλλάντιον is used in the New Testament to refer to a small bag or purse used for carrying money. It appears in contexts where Jesus instructs His disciples regarding provisions for their journeys. Context: The Greek word βαλλάντιον appears in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' teachings and instructions to His disciples. It is used to denote a purse or money bag, a common item in the ancient world for carrying currency and small personal items. In Luke 10:4, Jesus instructs His disciples, "Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and do not greet anyone along the road." Here, the term emphasizes reliance on God's provision rather than material possessions. Similarly, in Luke 12:33, Jesus advises, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys." This usage metaphorically contrasts earthly wealth with heavenly treasures, urging believers to focus on spiritual riches. The term reflects the broader biblical theme of trust in divine provision and the transient nature of material wealth.
