Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (Mashiach), meaning "anointed one."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H4899 מָשִׁיחַ (Mashiach): Anointed, anointed one, Messiah. This Hebrew term is used in the Old Testament to refer to priests, kings, and the anticipated deliverer of Israel, ultimately fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.

Usage: The term Μεσσίας is used in the New Testament to refer specifically to Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah. It appears in contexts where Jesus is identified as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming Savior and King.

Context: The term Μεσσίας (Messias) is a transliteration of the Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (Mashiach), which means "anointed one." In the Jewish tradition, the Messiah is a future king from the Davidic line, who is expected to be anointed with holy anointing oil, and is anticipated to rule the Jewish people during the Messianic Age. The concept of the Messiah is deeply rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures, with numerous prophecies pointing to a coming deliverer who would establish God's kingdom on earth.

In the New Testament, the term Μεσσίας is explicitly used in John 1:41 and John 4:25. In John 1:41, Andrew tells his brother Simon Peter, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated as Christ). This declaration identifies Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. In John 4:25, the Samaritan woman at the well speaks of the coming Messiah, to which Jesus responds, revealing Himself as the one she speaks of.

The New Testament presents Jesus as the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies, emphasizing His role as the Savior who brings spiritual deliverance and establishes a new covenant between God and humanity. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) captures these moments with clarity, highlighting the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah by His followers and others who encountered Him.
