Greek Word of the Day

οὗτος

οὗτος means “this (these).”

οὗτος is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight” (Matt 3:17).

Adjective οὗτος (houtos), GK G4047 (S 3778), 1,387x. Demonstrative pronoun meaning “this,” “this person” or “this thing” (Mt. 3:3, 9, 17; 8:9; 10:2; 24:34). It is frequently used by way of contempt, “this fellow” (Mt. 13:55; 27:47).

You can also receive the Greek Word of the Day if you follow me on Instagram (#GreekWordoftheDay, #BibleStudyGreek), YouTube, or Vimeo.

The dictionary entry is abridged from my book, Mounce’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words, which can be purchased in print ( Amazon | ChristianBook.com ) and electronic ( Logos | Accordance | Olive Tree ) form.
