Strong's Lexicon Iasón: Jason Original Word: Ἰάσων Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: Iasón Pronunciation: ee-ah'-sone Phonetic Spelling: (ee-as'-oan) Definition: Jason, a Christian of Thessalonica, perhaps the same as the relative of Paul. Meaning: Jason; a proper noun used as a masculine given name, meaning "healer." Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἰάομαι (iaomai), meaning "to heal" or "to cure." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek name Ἰάσων. However, the concept of healing, which is inherent in the name, can be related to Hebrew words such as רָפָא (rapha, Strong's Hebrew 7495), meaning "to heal" or "to restore." Usage: The name Ἰάσων appears in the New Testament as a Christian believer and host of Paul and Silas in Thessalonica. He is mentioned in the context of the early Christian church and its spread. Context: • Jason in Thessalonica: Jason is introduced in the Book of Acts as a resident of Thessalonica who provides hospitality to Paul and Silas during their missionary journey. His home becomes a focal point for the local believers. When a mob incited by jealous Jews cannot find Paul and Silas, they drag Jason and some other believers before the city officials, accusing them of harboring men who are "turning the world upside down" (Acts 17:6, BSB). Jason is forced to post bond before being released, indicating his significant role and commitment to the early church. • Jason in Romans: Jason is also mentioned in Paul's letter to the Romans, where Paul sends greetings to him, suggesting that Jason may have been with Paul in Corinth at the time of writing (Romans 16:21, BSB). This indicates Jason's continued involvement in the early Christian movement and his close association with Paul. • Historical and Cultural Context: The name Jason was a common Hellenistic name, often adopted by Jews in the Greek-speaking world. This reflects the cultural integration and the spread of Hellenistic influence among Jewish communities during the period. Jason's role in the early church highlights the diverse backgrounds of early Christians and their shared commitment to the Gospel.
