Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 4953: σύσσημονσύσσημον (Tdf. συνσημον (cf. σύν, II. at the end)), συσσημου, τό (σύν and σῆμα), a common sign or concerted signal, a sign given according to agreement: Mark 14:44. (Diodorus, Strabo, Plutarch, others; for נֵס, a standard, Isaiah 5:26; Isaiah 49:22; Isaiah 62:10.) The word is condemned by Phrynichus, edition Lob., p. 418, who remarks that Menander was the first to use it; cf. Sturz, De dial. Maced. et Alex., p. 196. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek prefix σύν (syn, meaning "together" or "with") and σῆμα (sēma, meaning "sign" or "mark").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συσσημόν, the concept of a sign or token is present in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Hebrew word אוֹת (oth, Strong's H226) is often used to denote a sign or token, such as in Genesis 9:12-13, where the rainbow is given as a sign of God's covenant with Noah. Another related term is מוֹפֵת (mopheth, Strong's H4159), meaning a wonder or sign, often used in the context of miraculous signs. These Hebrew terms, like συσσημόν, convey the idea of a visible or tangible indicator that communicates a deeper meaning or message. Usage: The term συσσημόν is used in the context of a prearranged signal or sign, often for the purpose of identification or recognition among a group. Context: The Greek term συσσημόν appears in the New Testament in the context of a prearranged signal. It is notably used in the account of Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus. In Matthew 26:48 (BSB), it is written: "Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: 'The one I kiss is the man; arrest Him.'" Here, συσσημόν refers to the kiss that Judas used as a sign to identify Jesus to the arresting soldiers. This act of betrayal highlights the use of a familiar gesture, a kiss, as a covert signal to convey a specific message to those in the know.
