Topical Lexicon Word Origin: This demonstrative pronoun is derived from the Greek root word ὁ (ho), which is the definite article "the." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek pronoun οὗτος corresponds to several Hebrew demonstrative pronouns, including: • Strong's Hebrew 2088 (זֶה, zeh) • "this" • Strong's Hebrew 2090 (זֹאת, zot) • "this" (feminine) • Strong's Hebrew 428 (אֵלֶּה, eleh) • "these" These Hebrew pronouns serve similar functions in the Old Testament, pointing to specific people, objects, or ideas within the narrative. Usage: The pronoun οὗτος is used extensively in the New Testament to refer to specific people, objects, or concepts. It can function as a subject, object, or possessive pronoun, and its form changes to agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. Context: • General Overview: The pronoun οὗτος, along with its feminine form αὕτη and neuter form τοῦτο, is a key component of Koine Greek, the language of the New Testament. It serves to point out specific entities or ideas, often emphasizing their importance or relevance in the narrative or discourse. • New Testament Examples: • In John 1:29, John the Baptist uses the term to identify Jesus: "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, 'Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'" Here, "this" (οὗτος) refers to Jesus as the one fulfilling the role of the sacrificial lamb. • In Matthew 3:17, during Jesus' baptism, a voice from heaven declares, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." The pronoun "this" (οὗτος) is used to affirm Jesus' divine sonship. • In Acts 2:16, Peter explains the events of Pentecost by saying, "No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel." The pronoun "this" (τοῦτο) connects the present event with the prophetic word. • Theological Significance: The use of οὗτος in the New Testament often highlights the fulfillment of prophecy, the identity of Jesus, and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. It serves as a linguistic tool to draw attention to key theological truths and divine actions. • Grammatical Notes: As a demonstrative pronoun, οὗτος must agree in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies. It appears in various forms throughout the New Testament, adapting to the grammatical structure of each sentence.
