A — 1: ἀριστάω

(Strong's #709 — Verb — aristao — ar-is-tah'-o )

primarily, "to breakfast" (see B), was later used also with the meaning "to dine," e.g., Luke 11:37; in John 21:12,15 , RV, "break your fast," and "had broken their fast," for AV, "dine;" obviously there it was the first meal in the day. In the Sept., Genesis 43:25; 1 Samuel 14:24; 1 Chronicles 13:7 .

B — 1: ἄριστον

(Strong's #712 — Noun Neuter — ariston — ar'-is-ton )

primarily, "the first food," taken early in the morning before work; the meal in the Pharisee's house, in Luke 11:37 , was a breakfast or early meal (see RV , marg.); the dinner was called deipnon. Later the breakfast was called akratisma (not in NT), and dinner, ariston, as in Matthew 22:4; Luke 11:38; 14:12 .
