Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Hebrew elements are בַּר (H1247) for "son" and יוֹנָה (H3124) for "Jonah" or "dove." These entries provide the foundational components of the name Βαριωνᾶς, linking the Greek usage to its Hebrew and Aramaic roots. Usage: This name is used in the New Testament to refer to the apostle Peter, specifically identifying him as the son of Jonah or John. Context: Βαριωνᾶς (Barionas) is a patronymic designation used in the New Testament to refer to the apostle Peter. The name appears in contexts where Peter's lineage is highlighted, emphasizing his identity as the son of Jonah or John. This designation is significant in understanding Peter's background and familial connections. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus refers to Peter as "Simon Bar-Jonah" during a pivotal moment of revelation. In Matthew 16:17 (BSB), Jesus says, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven." This acknowledgment underscores Peter's role in the early church and his spiritual insight granted by divine revelation. The use of Βαριωνᾶς highlights the common practice of identifying individuals by their parentage in biblical times, providing a deeper understanding of personal identity and heritage. It also reflects the cultural and linguistic blend of Aramaic and Greek in the New Testament era.
