Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The name Bartholomew does not have a direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, but it is related to the Aramaic "bar" (H1247), meaning "son," and "Talmai" (H8526), a name found in the Old Testament. Usage: Bartholomaios is a proper noun used in the New Testament to refer to one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. The name Bartholomew is often understood as a patronymic, indicating "son of Talmai." In the synoptic Gospels, Bartholomew is listed among the twelve apostles, suggesting his close association with Jesus during His earthly ministry. Cultural and Historical Background: Bartholomew is traditionally identified with Nathanael, mentioned in the Gospel of John. This identification is based on the pairing of Philip and Bartholomew in the synoptic Gospels and the pairing of Philip and Nathanael in John. Bartholomew's name reflects a common practice of the time, where individuals were often identified by their father's name. The apostles, including Bartholomew, were foundational figures in the early Christian church, spreading the teachings of Jesus after His resurrection and ascension.
