It is used to refer to a group that includes the speaker, typically in the context of direct or indirect objects in a sentence. This pronoun is employed to express actions or states that involve the speaker and others as the recipients or beneficiaries.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, Greek was the lingua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean, and the use of pronouns like ἡμᾶς was essential for clear communication. The pronoun reflects the communal and collective nature of early Christian communities, emphasizing unity and shared experiences among believers. The use of "us" in the New Testament often highlights the inclusivity of the Gospel message and the shared identity of believers in Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>acc. pl. of <a href="/greek/1473.htm">egó</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>our, us, we. <p>Accusative case plural of <a href="/greek/1473.htm">ego</a>; us -- our, us, we. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1473.htm">ego</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>ημας ἡμᾶς emas ēmas hemas hemâs hēmas hēmâs<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/greek/e_liou_2243.htm">Ἠλίου — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_likia_2244.htm">ἡλικίᾳ — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_likian_2244.htm">ἡλικίαν — 4 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_likias_2244.htm">ἡλικίας — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_like_n_2245.htm">ἡλίκην — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_likon_2245.htm">ἡλίκον — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_lio__2246.htm">ἡλίῳ — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_lion_2246.htm">ἥλιον — 4 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_lios_2246.htm">ἥλιος — 14 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_liou_2246.htm">ἡλίου — 12 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_mera_2250.htm">ἡμέρᾳ — 108 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_merai_2250.htm">ἡμέραι — 26 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_merais_2250.htm">ἡμέραις — 49 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_meran_2250.htm">ἡμέραν — 58 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_meras_2250.htm">ἡμέρας — 127 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_mero_n_2250.htm">ἡμερῶν — 22 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_metera_2251.htm">ἡμετέρα — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_meterais_2251.htm">ἡμετέραις — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_meteran_2251.htm">ἡμετέραν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/e_meteras_2251.htm">ἡμετέρας — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/greek/2247.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="2247"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="2247" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/greek/2249.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="2249"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="2249" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
