Strong's Lexicon Zélótés: Zealot Original Word: ζηλωτής Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ζῆλος (zélos), meaning "zeal" or "jealousy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with zeal is קִנְאָה (qin'ah), Strong's Hebrew 7068, which conveys a sense of ardor, jealousy, or passionate intensity. Usage: The term "Zélótés" refers to someone who is zealous or fervent in their beliefs or actions. In the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who are passionately devoted to a cause, often with a connotation of fervor and intensity. The word can imply both positive zeal for God and His purposes, as well as misguided or excessive zeal. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, the Zealots were a political movement known for their fervent opposition to Roman rule in Judea. They were characterized by their passionate commitment to Jewish law and their willingness to use force to achieve their goals. This group played a significant role in the Jewish Revolt against Rome (66-70 AD). The term "zealot" thus carries both religious and political connotations, reflecting a deep commitment to a cause, sometimes to the point of extremism.
