In the New Testament, it is used to describe the physical side of a person, particularly in the context of Jesus' crucifixion, where His side was pierced.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the term "pleura" was commonly used in medical and anatomical contexts to describe the sides of the human body or the ribs. The concept of the "side" also held symbolic significance, often representing protection or vulnerability. In the biblical context, the piercing of Jesus' side is a significant event, symbolizing the fulfillment of prophecy and the outpouring of grace and redemption.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the side<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>side (5).<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 4125: πλευρά</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πλευρά</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πλευρᾶς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> (who always uses the plural) down; <span class="accented">the side</span> of the body: <a href="/interlinear/john/19-34.htm">John 19:34</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/20-20.htm">John 20:20, 25, 27</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/12-7.htm">Acts 12:7</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>side. <p>Of uncertain affinity; a rib, i.e. (by extension) side -- side. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>πλευρά πλεύρα πλευραί πλευραίς πλευραν πλευράν πλευρὰν πλευράς πλευροίς πλευρόν πλευρού πλευρών pleuran pleurán pleuràn<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><b><a href="/text/matthew/27-49.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 27:49</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
