Strong's Lexicon summathétés: Fellow disciple, fellow student Original Word: συμμαθητής Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "with") and μαθητής (mathétés, "disciple" or "learner") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "summathétés," the concept of a disciple or learner is captured in the Hebrew word תַּלְמִיד (talmid), which is often used in the context of rabbinical students. Usage: The term "summathétés" refers to someone who is a fellow learner or disciple, sharing in the same teachings or educational experience. In the context of the New Testament, it implies a shared commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ, highlighting the communal aspect of discipleship. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, education and learning were often communal activities, with students gathering around a teacher or philosopher to learn. This concept is mirrored in the Jewish tradition of rabbinical teaching, where disciples would follow a rabbi to learn the Torah and its applications. The early Christian community adopted this model, with Jesus as the central teacher and His followers as disciples. The term "summathétés" emphasizes the shared journey of learning and growing in faith.

The Latin also observes the same distinction and sayscommilito meus, but notconcivis, butcivis meus; see Phryn. ed. Lob., p. 471; (cf. p. 172; Winer's 25).)
