In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe individuals who engage in acts of violence or assassination, often for political motives.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The term "sikarios" is historically associated with a group of Jewish zealots during the first century AD, known as the Sicarii. These individuals were known for their radical opposition to Roman occupation and their use of concealed daggers (sicae) to assassinate Roman officials and collaborators. The Sicarii were part of the broader Zealot movement, which sought to expel the Romans from Judea and restore Jewish sovereignty.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Latin origin, sica (a dagger)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an assassin<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Assassins (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 4607: σικάριος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σικάριος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σικαριου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (a Latin word), <span class="accented">an assassin,</span> i. e. one who carries a dagger or short sword (Latin<span class="latin">sica</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, as below)) under his clothing, that he may kill secretly and treacherously anyone he wishes to (a cut-throat): <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-38.htm">Acts 21:38</a>.
