         DefinitionShort: a person who has acquired a high level of education in a certain body of literature or discipline

         Glosses: ['scholar', 'teacher']

         Comments: In traditional translations γραμματεύς in contexts such as {S:04600102000008} and {S:04001305200016} has been rendered as ‘scribe,’ but this generally is misleading since the term ‘scribe’ is usually restricted in meaning to one who writes or copies documents. A γραμματεύς in Jewish life of Bible times would have been an expert in the Law or a scholar in the Holy Scriptures and not a mere copier of manuscripts.
