In the New Testament, it is used to describe a supernatural appearance that causes fear or amazement. The word conveys the idea of something that is perceived but not necessarily real or tangible.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, beliefs in spirits and apparitions were common. Such phenomena were often associated with omens or divine messages. The concept of a "phantasma" would have resonated with contemporary audiences familiar with tales of gods, spirits, and otherworldly beings appearing to humans.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5326</b> <i>phántasma</i> – properly, a <i>manifestation</i>; "<i>an appearance, apparition </i>(so Aesch., etc.)" (<i>A-S</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[<a href="/greek/5326.htm">5326</a> (<i>phántasma</i>) originally referred to "seeing" a ghost or apparition.]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5324.htm">phantazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an appearance, apparition<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ghost (2).<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 5326: φάντασμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">φάντασμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">φαντασματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">φαντάζω</span>), <span class="accented">an appearance</span>; specifically, <span class="accented">an apparition, spectre</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/14-26.htm">Matthew 14:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-49.htm">Mark 6:49</a>.
