Berean Strong's Lexicon
Nikodémos: Nicodemus

Original Word: Νικόδημος
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: Nikodémos
Pronunciation: nee-ko'-day-mos
Phonetic Spelling: (nik-od'-ay-mos)
Definition: Nicodemus
Meaning: Nicodemus, a member of the Sanhedrin.

Word Origin: From the Greek words νίκη (nikē, meaning "victory") and δῆμος (dēmos, meaning "people")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Nicodemus, the concept of "victory" can be related to Hebrew words like נֵצַח (netsach, Strong's H5331) meaning "victory" or "endurance."

Usage: Nicodemus is a personal name meaning "victory of the people." In the New Testament, Nicodemus is a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council, the Sanhedrin. He is known for his interactions with Jesus, where he seeks to understand Jesus' teachings and later shows support for Him.

Cultural and Historical Background: Nicodemus was a Pharisee, a sect known for strict adherence to the Law and traditions. As a member of the Sanhedrin, he held a position of authority and influence in Jewish society. His approach to Jesus at night (John 3:1-21) suggests a cautious curiosity, possibly due to the potential repercussions of being associated with Jesus, who was controversial among Jewish leaders. Nicodemus' actions reflect the tension between traditional Jewish beliefs and the new teachings of Jesus.
