ὑπηρέτης

Matthew 5:25 ὑπηρέτῃ, officer,

Reconcile quickly with your adversary, while you are still on the way to court. Otherwise, he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

Here: The court attendant who carries out the judgment: takes the condemned debtor into custody and to the jail.

Matthew 26:58 ὑπηρετῶν guards

But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.

Here: The high priest's officers, the temple police and court attendants. These are very likely the same men who had just arrested Jesus in Gethsemane (compare John 18:3, 12, 18).

Mark 14:54 ὑπηρετῶν officers

Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.

Here: The high priest's attendants or guards. These are probably the armed temple men who had just made the arrest (14:43), and the same group beats Jesus a few verses later (14:65). They are not household maids or butlers.

Mark 14:65 ὑπηρέται officers

Then some of them began to spit on Him. They blindfolded Him, struck Him with their fists, and said to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in His face.

Here: The high priest's attendants, the temple police on duty. These are officials under orders, not household servants. They take custody of the prisoner.

Luke 1:2 ὑπηρέται servants

just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word.

Here: Someone who acts under another's authority and carries out a task for them, such as a synagogue attendant or a court officer. Here they are the people charged with carrying the message. It is not a clergy title.

Luke 4:20 ὑπηρέτῃ attendant

Then He rolled up the scroll, returned it to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on Him,

John 7:32 ὑπηρέτας officers

When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.

Here: "Attendants" or "officers": the Temple police, largely Levites, under the priests' command. They are not Roman soldiers. The same men arrest Jesus in 18:3 and 18:12.

John 7:45 ὑπηρέται officers

Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”

Here: The temple police: attendants under the authority of the chief priests, sent to take Jesus into custody (7:32). They are subordinates who carry out orders, not decision-makers.

John 7:46 ὑπηρέται· officers;

“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

Here: The Temple police, the armed attendants who served the chief priests. They were low-ranking men carrying out orders, and here they come back without the prisoner they were sent to fetch.

John 18:3 ὑπηρέτας officers

So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.

John 18:12 ὑπηρέται officers

Then the band of soldiers, with its commander and the officers of the Jews, arrested Jesus and bound Him.

Here: Men who carry out orders for an authority. Here they are the temple police and staff working for the chief priests (18:3; 7:32, 45). They are not 'officers' in the modern military or police sense of rank.

John 18:18 ὑπηρέται officers

Because it was cold, the servants and officers were standing around a charcoal fire they had made to keep warm. And Peter was also standing with them, warming himself.

John 18:22 ὑπηρετῶν officers

When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”

Here: The temple guards and attendants who served the chief priests. John keeps them separate from household slaves (douloi, 18:18). The man is an official enforcer, and he acts to defend his master's dignity.

John 18:36 ὑπηρέται attendants

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now My kingdom is not of this realm.”

Here: The people who carry out a ruler's orders. In this chapter the same word names the temple police who arrested him (18:3, 12, 18, 22). 'My officers' would be his counterpart to theirs.

John 19:6 ὑπηρέται, officers,

As soon as the chief priests and officers saw Him, they shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” “You take Him and crucify Him,” Pilate replied, “for I find no basis for a charge against Him.”

Acts 5:22 ὑπηρέται [the] officers

But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:

At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.

Acts 13:5 ὑπηρέτην.¶ a helper.

When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.

Here: In apposition to John (it renames him): 'John, as assistant.' He was a subordinate helper serving the two leaders. He was not a co-leader and not a 'minister' in the clerical sense.

Acts 26:16 ὑπηρέτην a servant

‘But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen from Me and what I will show you.

Here: An aide who carries out a superior's orders, like a synagogue attendant, a court officer or temple police. Paul is placed under Jesus' authority as his agent.

1 Corinthians 4:1 ὑπηρέτας servants

So then, men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Here: An assistant who acts under someone else's orders and on their behalf, as with a court officer or synagogue attendant. The point is not how low the person ranks but that someone else gives the orders and judges the work.
