It can refer to physical dimensions, such as a large crowd or a great city, as well as abstract concepts like great power, authority, or significance. In the New Testament, "megas" often emphasizes the magnitude of God's works, the authority of Jesus, or the impact of events.Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, greatness was often associated with power, wealth, and influence. The term "megas" would have been understood in this context, highlighting the grandeur or superiority of a person, place, or event. In the biblical context, however, greatness is frequently redefined to align with God's values, where humility and servanthood are exalted.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div>Word Origin a prim. word Definition great NASB Translation abundant (1), all the more (1), arrogant (1), big (2), completely* (1), fierce (2), great (115), great men (2), great things (2), greater (30), greater things (1), greatest (10), greatly* (1), grown* (1), high (2), huge (1), large (8), larger (2), larger ones (1), long time (1), loud (42), mighty (1), more important (2), older (1), one greater (1), perfectly (2), severe (2), stricter (1), strong (1), surprising (1), terribly (1), too much (1), very much (1), wide (1).<div align="center"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div>STRONGS NT 3173: μέγας μέγας, μεγάλη, μέγα ((related to Latinmagnus, magister, Goth.maist (cf. τό πλεῖστον), etc.; Vanicek, p. 682; Curtius, § 462)), accusative μέγαν, μεγάλην, μέγα; plural μεγάλοι, μεγάλαι, μεγάλα; comparative μείζων, μεῖζον (accusative masculine and feminine μείζονα, once contracted μείζω, <a href="/interlinear/john/5-36.htm">John 5:36</a> (R G T WH, but L Tr μείζων (cf.
