Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἄμπελος, , ἡ (from Homer down), a vine: Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25; Luke 22:18; James 3:12. In John 15:1, 4f Christ calls himself a vine, because, as the vine imparts to its branches sap and productiveness, so Christ infuses into his followers his own divine strength and life. ἄμπελος τῆς γῆς in Revelation 14:18 (Rec.st omits τῆς ἀμπέλου.), John 15:19, signifies the enemies of Christ, who, ripe for destruction, are likened to clusters of grapes, to be cut off, thrown into the winepress, and trodden there.

Abbott-Smith Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament

ἄμπελος , -ου , ἡ ,

[in LXX for H1612;]

vine: Matthew 26:29, Mark 14:25, Luke 22:18 James 3:12; fig., of Christ, John 15:1; John 15:4-5; of his enemies (on the usage here, v. MM, VGT, s.v.): Revelation 14:18-19.†

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἄμπελος is amply vouched for in the papyri, as in BGU IV. 111910, 11232 (both time of Augustus), and P Lond 9218 (late ii/iii A.D.) (= 111. p. 134) ἦσαν ἐν ἀμπέλῳ, ";planted with vines."; In P Petr I. 294 (iii/B.C.) πεφύτευται δὲ καὶ ἡ ἄμπελος πᾶσα, ἄ. is used in a collective sense : cf. P Flor I. 502 (A.D. 268) ἐξ ἴσου τῆ [ς ἀμπέ ]λου μεριζομένης. This use of ἄμπελος (so MGr ἀμπέλι) which makes it equivalent to ἀμπελών, occurs also in the Median parchments, P Saїd Khan (B.C. 88 and 22), deeds concerning the transfer of a ";vineyard,"; which is never called ἀμπελών in the documents. We may probably apply this use in Revelation 14:18-19, and perhaps in Didache 9:2.
