Temples, monuments, and rulers were described using terms that conveyed grandeur and splendor. The use of "megaleios" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the unparalleled greatness of God's works and character.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3173.htm">megas</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>magnificent, splendid<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mighty deeds (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 3167: μεγαλεῖος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μεγαλεῖος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μεγαλεῖα</span>, <span class="greek2">μεγαλεῖον</span> (<span class="greek2">μέγας</span>), <span class="accented">magnificent, excellent, splendid, wonderful</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Artemidorus</span> Daldianus, others); absolutely, <span class="greek2">μεγαλεῖα</span> (<span class="greek2">ποιεῖν</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>) to do great things for one (show him conspicuous favors), <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-49.htm">Luke 1:49</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">μεγαλεῖα</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span> (<span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">magnalia dei</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
