(cl.), Σώπατρος Πύρρου Βεροιαῖος, Act.20:4; with adj., προτότοκος, Luk.2:7; μονογένης, Luk.7:12; opp. to νόθος, Heb.12:8; in a wider sense, of posterity: ὁ υἱ. Δαυΐδ, of the Messiah (cf. Dalman, Words, 316ff.; DCG, ii, 653f.), Refs Mat.22:42, 45 Mrk.12:35, 37 Luk.20:41, 44 al.; υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, (cf. υἷες Ἀχαιῶν, Hom., Il., i, 162, al.), Refs Mat.27:9, Act.9:15, al. __2. Metaph.; __(a) as belonging to, being connected with or having the quality of that which follows (a usage mainly due to translation from a Semitic original; cf. Deiss., BS, 161ff.; Dalman, Words, 115f.; DCG, ii, 652f.): τ. πονεροῦ (διαβόλου), Refs Mat.13:38, Act.13:10; τ. νυμφῶνος (see: νυμφών), Refs Mat.9:15, Mrk.2:19, al.; τ. φωτός (Lft., Notes, 74), Refs Luk.16:8, Jhn.12:36, 1Th.5:5; τ. εἰρεήμης, Luk.10:6; γεέννης, Mat.23:15; τ. ἀπωλείας, Refs Jhn.17:12, 2Th.2:3; τ. αἰῶνος τούτου, Refs Luk.16:8 20:34; τ. ἀπειθειάς, Refs Eph.2:2 5:6; βροντῆς, Mrk.3:17; τ. ἀναστάσεως, Luk.20:36; παρακλήσεως, Act.4:36; τ. προφητῶν κ. τ. διαθήκης, Act.3:25; __(b) υἱὸς τ. θεοῦ (cf. Dalman, Words, 268ff.; Deiss., BS, 166f.; DB, iv, 570 ff.; DCG, ii, 654ff.), of men, as partakers of the Divine nature and of the life to come: Refs Mat.5:9, Luk.20:36, Rom.8:14 9:26, al.; υἱοὶ (κ. θυγατέρες) τ. ὑψίστου, Refs Luk.6:35, 2Co.6:18; in an unique sense of Jesus, Refs Mat.4:3 8:29 28:19, Mrk.3:4, Luk.4:41, Jhn.9:35 11:27, al.; ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱ. τ. θεοῦ ζῶντος (τ. εὐλογητοῦ), Refs Mat.16:16, Mrk.14:61; __(with) (ὁ) υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου (in LXX for Heb. בּן אדם, Aram, בּר אנשׁ; cf. Dalman, Words, 234ff.; DB, iv, 579ff.; DCG, ii, 659ff.; Westc., St. John, i, 74ff.; other reff. in Swete, Mk, 2:10), based on the Aram. of Dan.7:13, where the phrase, like the corresponding Heb. (as in Psa.8:5), means a man, one of the species, and indicates the human appearance of the person in question. It is used of the Messiah in Enoch, with 46, §1-4, also in II Est.13:3, 12, al. Our Lord first makes the phrase a title, using the def. art. It seems to combine the ideas of his true humanity and representative character. Exc. in Act.7:56 and (anarth.) Rev.1:13 14:14, it is used of Jesus only by himself: Refs Mat.8:20, Mrk.2:10, Luk.5:24, Jhn.1:52, al. (AS)

teknon and yios both point to parentage. teknon, however,
emphasizes the idea of descent, giving prominence to the physical and
outward aspects? while yios emphasizes the idea of relationship,
and considers especially the inward, ethical, and legal aspects.
pais as well as teknon emphasizes the idea of descent, but
gives especial prominence to age, denoting a child as one who is young.
pais is also often used of a servant. The number of years covered
by the term pais is quite indefinite. Its diminutives paidion
and paidarion are used without appreciable difference to denote a
young child. (paidiskos in classical Greek and) paidiske, in
which the diminutive force is largely lost, cover the years of late
childhood and early youth.
