| Semantic Range | a gathered crowd, thronging multitude, common people, populace, mob, public assembly, mass movement of people |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Gospels and Acts, ὄχλος frequently represents the gathered masses who follow, question, oppose, or respond to Jesus and the apostles. It highlights the social and communal dimension of the narrative—depicting both receptive multitudes and volatile crowds, underscoring the dynamic interaction between divine revelation and the collective people. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DMS = noun, dative case, masculine, singular. The dative singular indicates indirect object, association, means, or location in relation to the crowd as a single collective entity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ὄχλος denotes a mass or throng of people, emphasizing movement and collective press. The dative masculine singular form (ὄχλῳ) is reflected by the prepositional sense “to,” preserving the indirect or locative force of the dative while maintaining the singular collective idea of a unified crowd. |
