Definition: The word "Adriaens" appears in the New Testament (Matthew 19:28, Mark 15:30) to be a reference to an individual named Adriaen who was a disciple of Jesus while he was in Judea. According to the context of Matthew's gospel, when Jesus returns from his time in the land of Judea, He will send out His disciples out of Jerusalem and call them to join Him and stay with him until He is gone (Luke 24:37). Adriaen is one of those disciples. Adriaen was a man who lived in the town of Judah. In Luke's account, he was sent by Jesus into the town to tell the people about His kingdom, but the Lord wanted the disciples to stay with Him and make their presence known there (Luke 24:37). The word "Adriaens" has been translated from Latin as "Adriana", which in turn is derived from the Greek word "adriaen," meaning a person of the same name. Therefore, the term "Adriaen" could be interpreted as a reference to Adriaen, who was also known by the name Adriaen. The word's context and its meaning are quite intricate, but it appears that in the New Testament context, Adriaen is one of the disciples who Jesus sent out into Judah to spread the gospel.
