In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe someone who provides help or support, often in a public or official capacity. The word implies a sense of generosity and benevolence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of a benefactor was well understood. Wealthy individuals often took on the role of benefactors, providing financial support for public works, sponsoring games, or offering aid to the poor. This practice was not only a means of gaining honor and prestige but also a way to fulfill social and civic responsibilities. The title of "benefactor" was highly esteemed and often associated with rulers or influential figures who contributed to the welfare of their communities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2095.htm">eu</a> and the same as <a href="/greek/2041.htm">ergon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a doer of good, i.e. a benefactor<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>benefactors (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2110: εὐεργέτης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐεργέτης</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Αὐεργέτου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">a benefactor</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span> and <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down); it was also a title of honor, conferred on such as had done their country service, and upon princes; equivalent to Sorer, Pater Patriae: <a href="/interlinear/luke/22-25.htm">Luke 22:25</a>.
