Five — the cardinal number five
The indeclinable Greek cardinal numeral for five, cognate with Sanskrit panca and Latin quinque. In the New Testament it appears in miracle narratives — the five loaves feeding the 5,000 (Matt 14:17, 19; Mark 6:38; Luke 9:13; John 6:9) — and in Jesus' parables, notably the five wise and five foolish virgins (Matt 25:2) and the five talents (Matt 25:15-20). It also marks quantities in narrative and apocalyptic contexts: five months of torment (Rev 9:5, 10), five kings (Rev 17:10), and five porticoes at Bethesda (John 5:2).
