In the New Testament, it specifically denotes Greek-speaking Jews who were part of the early Christian community. These individuals maintained their Jewish faith while embracing aspects of Greek culture, which sometimes led to tensions with Hebrew-speaking Jews.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>During the Hellenistic period, following the conquests of Alexander the Great, Greek culture and language spread throughout the Mediterranean and Near East. Many Jews, especially those in the Diaspora, adopted Greek customs and language, leading to the emergence of Hellenistic Judaism. This cultural blending was evident in cities like Alexandria and Antioch, where Jewish communities thrived. The tension between Hellenistic and Hebraic Jews is a recurring theme in the New Testament, reflecting broader cultural and religious dynamics of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from Hellénizó (to Hellenize)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a Hellenist (Greek-speaking Jew)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Hellenistic (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 1675: Ἑλληνιστής</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ἑλληνιστής</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἑλληνιστου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (from <span class="greek2">ἑλληνίζω</span> to copy the manners and worship of the Greeks or to use the Greek language (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 94 (89f), cf. 28)), <span class="accented">a Hellenist,</span> i. e. one who imitates the manners and customs or the worship of the Greeks, and uses the Greek tongue; employed in the N.
