Usage: The term "γνωστής" (gnóstés) refers to someone who possesses knowledge or expertise in a particular area. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who have a deep understanding or insight, often in spiritual or religious matters. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, knowledge was highly valued, and those who were considered "knowers" or experts were often held in high esteem. This concept of knowledge was not limited to intellectual understanding but also included experiential and relational knowledge, particularly in the context of knowing God or spiritual truths.
