        DefinitionShort: an adult female person of marriageable age

        Glosses: woman

        Comments: In some languages it may be awkward to speak of ‘arresting men and women,’ since it is normal in such languages to speak of ‘men and women’ simply as ‘people.’ However, where the distinction of ‘men and women’ can be employed, it should be done, since the arresting of women for presumed heresy in NT times would seem far less justified than the arresting of men, who were supposed to take a more active part in new movements and thus were more likely to be arraigned before authorities.|As a form of address, γυνή was used in Koine Greek in speaking politely to a female person: ὦ γύναι, μεγάλη σου ἡ πίστις ‘Lady, your faith is great’ {S:04001502800016}. In {S:04300200400020} Jesus uses γυνή to address his mother courteously.|In a number of languages it would be totally impossible to have Jesus address his mother merely as ‘woman.’ To do so in some languages would imply that Jesus was denying that Mary was his mother. In other languages, such an expression would imply that Jesus was calling his mother a prostitute or evil person. Accordingly, in a number of languages there is simply no other way in which Jesus could address his mother than as ‘mother’ or ‘my mother.’

        DefinitionShort: a woman who is married to a man

        Glosses: wife

        Comments: The distinctions in meaning of {L:γυνή}[a] woman ({D:9.34}) and γυνή[b] wife parallel those involving {L:ἀνήρ}[c] and {L:ἄνθρωπος}[c] (see {D:10.53}). A number of languages, however, employ essentially the same usage as Greek in that a wife is simply called his woman, my woman, etc. The contexts normally indicate clearly which meaning of {L:γυνή} is involved.
