French (Bailly abrégé)

οῦ (ὁ) :

Étymologie: ζηλόω.

English (Strong)

from ζηλόω; a "zealot": zealous.

English (Thayer)

ζηλωτου, ὁ (ζηλόω), one burning with zeal; a zealot;
1. absolutely, for the Hebrew קַנָּא, used of God as jealous of any rival and sternly vindicating his control: Zealots, who rigorously adhered to the Mosaic law and endeavored even by a resort to violence, after the example of Phinehas (ζηλωτής Φινης Josephus, b. j. 4,3, 9; 4,5, 1; 4,6, 3; 7,8, 1. To this class perhaps Simon the apostle had belonged, and hence, got the surname ὁ ζηλωτής: Schürer, Neutest. Zeitgesch., Index under the word Zeloten; Edersheim, Jesus the Messiah, i. 237ff).
2. with the genitive of the object: with the genitive of the thing, most eagerly desirous of, zealous for, a thing;
a. to acquire a thing (zealous of) (see ζηλόω, 2): L T Tr WH (ἀρετῆς, Philo, praem. et poen. § 2; τῆς εὐσεβείας, de monarch. 50:1, § 3; εὐσεβείας καί δικαιοσύνης, de poenit. § 1; τῶν πολεμικων ἔργων, Diodorus 1,73; περί τῶν ἀνηκόντων εἰς σωτηρίαν, Clement of Rome, 1 Corinthians 45,1 [ET]).
b. to defend and uphold a thing, vehemently contending for a thing (zealous for): νόμου, τῶν πατρικῶν παραδόσεων, τῶν αἰγυπτιακων πλασματων, Philo, vit. Moys. iii. § 19; τῆς ἀρχαίας καί σώφρονος ἀγωγης, Diodorus excerpt., p. 611 (from 50:37, vol. 2:564 Didot)); with the genitive of person: Θεοῦ, intent on protecting the majesty and authority of God by contending for the Mosaic law, an emulator, admirer, imitator, follower of anyone.)
