1. Galilean — Galilean, a person from the region of Galilee in northern Israel. All 11 NT occurrences (Mt 26:69; Mk 14:70; Lk 13:1-2, 22:59, 23:6; Jn 4:45; Acts 1:11, 2:7, 5:37) function as a proper gentilicium identifying ethnic-geographic origin. Cross-linguistic translations are uniformly transliterated demonyms: arb jalili, deu Galilaeer, fra Galileen, heb galili, hin galili, kor gallilli-saram, spa galileo. The auto-clusters artificially separated singular vs. plural forms and different English transliterations (Galilaian vs. Galilaioi vs. Galilaios), but these are purely morphological variants of the same proper adjective used substantively to designate inhabitants of Galilee, applied to Jesus and his disciples (Mk 14:70), Judas of Galilee (Acts 5:37), and Galileans as a group (Lk 13:1-2; Acts 2:7). 11×
