It is used in the New Testament to refer to the day before the current day, emphasizing the immediacy of past events or actions. This term is often used to highlight the contrast between past and present circumstances.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greek and Jewish context, time was often viewed in a cyclical manner, with a strong emphasis on the present and immediate past. The concept of "yesterday" would have been significant in a culture that valued oral tradition and the recounting of recent events. The use of "chthes" in the New Testament reflects the importance of understanding recent history and its impact on current faith and practice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>variant reading for <a href="/greek/2189.htm">echthes</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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5504: ἐχθές</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐχθές</span></span> and (<span class="manuref">Rec.</span>, so Griesbach in Acts and Heb.) <span class="greek2">χθές</span> (on which forms cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 323f; (especially Rutherford.
