Phonetic Spelling: (gal-ee-lah'-yos)
Definition: Galilean
Meaning: a Galilean, an inhabitant of Galilee.

Word Origin: Derived from Γαλιλαία (Galilaia), meaning "Galilee"

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent is גָּלִיל (Galil), Strong's Hebrew #1551, referring to the region of Galilee.

Usage: The term "Galilaios" refers to someone from Galilee, a region in northern Israel. In the New Testament, it is used to identify individuals who are from this area, including Jesus and His disciples. The term can carry both geographical and cultural connotations, often highlighting the distinctiveness of Galileans in contrast to those from Judea or other regions.

Cultural and Historical Background: Galilee was a significant region during the time of Jesus, known for its diverse population and fertile land. It was less influenced by the religious elite of Jerusalem, which sometimes led to Galileans being viewed as less sophisticated or orthodox in their religious practices. Despite this, Galilee was a center for Jesus' ministry, and many of His teachings and miracles occurred there. The region's mixed population included Jews and Gentiles, which is reflected in the openness of Jesus' ministry to all people.
