A Macedonian, an inhabitant of Macedonia; the region in northern Greece that was home to Alexander the Great and later a Roman province.
This noun identifies a person from Macedonia, the kingdom in northern Greece that produced Alexander the Great and later became a Roman province. In Paul's famous Macedonian vision (Acts 16:9), a man pleads 'Come over to Macedonia and help us,' redirecting the apostle's mission into Europe. Aristarchus and Gaius are identified as Macedonians traveling with Paul (Acts 19:29; 27:2). In 2 Corinthians 9:2, 4, Paul uses the Macedonians' generous giving to spur the Corinthians to similar liberality.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A Macedonian — a native or inhabitant of the Roman province of Macedonia in northern Greece. The term functions as both a gentilicium (ethnic/regional identifier) and occasionally as a shorthand for the Macedonian churches. In Acts 16:9, the Macedonian man in Paul's vision becomes the catalyst for the gospel's entry into Europe. Named Macedonians include Aristarchus and Gaius (Acts 19:29; 27:2). Paul holds up Macedonian believers as a model of sacrificial generosity (2 Cor 9:2, 4). The translations treat it straightforwardly as the demonym (spa: macedonio, fra: Macédonien, deu: Mazedonier). 5×
