His name means "twin," though the Bible does not provide details about his twin sibling. Thomas is known for his candidness and desire for tangible evidence, which is highlighted in his interactions with Jesus.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first-century Jewish context, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of one's character or role. Thomas, being an apostle, was part of a group chosen by Jesus to spread His teachings. The cultural setting of the time was one of Roman occupation, and the Jewish people were anticipating a Messiah who would deliver them. Thomas's skepticism reflects a broader theme of doubt and faith that was prevalent among Jesus' followers.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/8420b.htm">toam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"the twin," Thomas, one of the twelve apostles<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Thomas (11).<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 2381: Θωμᾶς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Θωμᾶς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">Θωμᾷ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="hebrew">תְּאום</span> (i. e. twin), see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">δίδυμος</span></span>), <span class="accented">Thomas,</span> one of Christ's apostles: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-3.htm">Matthew 10:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/3-18.htm">Mark 3:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/6-15.htm">Luke 6:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/11-16.htm">John 11:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/14-5.htm">John 14:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/20-24.htm">John 20:24-29</a> (in 29 <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> only); <a href="/interlinear/john/21-2.htm">John 21:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/1-13.htm">Acts 1:13</a>.
