Strong's Lexicon Kleopas: Cleopas Original Word: Κλεόπας Word Origin: Derived from the Greek words "κλέος" (kleos), meaning "glory" or "renown," and "πατήρ" (pater), meaning "father." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Cleopas, the concept of "glory" or "renown" can be linked to Hebrew words such as כָּבוֹד (kabod), meaning "glory" or "honor." Usage: Cleopas is a personal name used in the New Testament. It is associated with one of the disciples of Jesus who encountered the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus. The name suggests a person of notable or glorious lineage, reflecting the Greek cultural emphasis on honor and reputation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of a person's heritage or character. Cleopas, as a disciple of Jesus, would have been part of the early Christian community that was grappling with the implications of Jesus' resurrection. The encounter on the road to Emmaus is a pivotal moment that underscores the transformative power of recognizing the risen Christ.
