Ἑλληνιστί (Hellenisti) is a website dedicated to the Koine Greek language. Koine Greek was the common language of the Mediterranean world from the time of Alexander the Great. Also, Koine Greek is the language of the New Testament.

Ἑλληνιστί (Hellenisti) means “the Greek language”. The word is found twice in the Greek text of the New Testament:

Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek (Ἑλληνιστί). (John 19:20 ESV)

As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the tribune, “May I say something to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek (Ἑλληνιστί)?” (Acts 21:37 ESV)

 Ἑλληνιστί (Hellenisti) is edited and published by Alan Knox. Alan is a PhD student at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and an adjunct professor of Greek. Alan also publishes a blog called “The Assembling of the Church“.
