This Syriac or Chaldee word is found three times in the New Testament (
Mark 14:36;
Romans 8:15;
Galatians 4:6 ), and in each case is followed by its Greek equivalent, which is translated "father." It is a term expressing warm affection and filial confidence. It has no perfect equivalent in our language. It has passed into European languages as an ecclesiastical term, "abbot."
