Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὀψέ (opse), meaning "late" or "afterward."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "opsimaios," the concept of lateness or delay can be found in Hebrew words such as אַחַר (achar, Strong's Hebrew 310), meaning "after" or "behind," and עֵת (eth, Strong's Hebrew 6256), meaning "time" or "season." These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe timing and sequence, similar to how "opsimaios" might be used in Greek literature to denote lateness or subsequent events.

Usage: The word "opsimaios" is not used in the canonical texts of the New Testament. It is a term that might be found in other Greek literature or non-canonical texts, indicating events or actions that occur later than usual or anticipated.

Context: The term "opsimaios" is not present in the New Testament, but its root, ὀψέ (opse), appears in contexts that describe timing, particularly in relation to the end of the day or late in the evening. For example, in Matthew 28:1 (BSB), "After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb." Here, the concept of "late" or "after" is captured by the root word, indicating the time after the Sabbath had ended. The absence of "opsimaios" in the New Testament suggests that its specific nuance of lateness was not required in the scriptural narrative, yet its root concept is essential for understanding the timing of events, especially those surrounding the resurrection of Jesus.
