Strong's Lexicon baptistés: Baptist Original Word: βαπτιστής Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: baptistés Pronunciation: bap-tis-TACE Phonetic Spelling: (bap-tis-tace') Definition: Baptist Meaning: the baptizer, the Baptist, epithet used only of John, the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, forerunner of Jesus. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb βαπτίζω (baptizō), meaning "to baptize" or "to immerse." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "baptistés," the concept of ritual washing and purification can be linked to Hebrew practices such as the "mikveh" (ritual bath) and the role of prophets like Elijah, who called Israel to repentance. Usage: The term "baptistés" is used in the New Testament to refer specifically to John the Baptist, a key prophetic figure who prepared the way for Jesus Christ. The word denotes one who administers the rite of baptism, emphasizing John's role in calling people to repentance and symbolically cleansing them through immersion in water. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first century, baptism was a ritual of purification and repentance. John the Baptist's ministry took place in the wilderness of Judea, where he called people to repent for the kingdom of heaven was near (Matthew 3:1-2). His baptism was a precursor to the Christian baptism instituted by Jesus, symbolizing repentance and the washing away of sins. John's role as "the Baptist" was significant in fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the forerunner to the Messiah (Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 3:1).
