Definition: The word "aglycon" in the Greek New Testament is a term used to describe the people who were brought to Christ from all over Israel. It appears seven times in the New Testament, including at the beginning of Revelation 1:5-8 and Mark 6:28. According to Matthew 13:43, they "aglycon" was a group of men who came out of Egypt with Jesus from their families in Nazareth (Mark 6:25). These were people who lived in the desert area. They became Christian disciples through their faith and obedience. In Acts 17:20-22, Paul and Barnabas visit these Aglycon people at their home in Ephesus, and they are amazed by Jesus' ministry of healing and the miracles performed in their community. This encounter is referred to as the "Aglycon Experience." The term "aglycon" also appears in Acts 17:23-25 where Paul describes some Aglycon people who had a vision of Jesus appearing in their midst, which led them to worship Him and follow His teaching. In Acts 18:7-9, the same Aglycon people are described as being "aglycon" when they gathered together for the celebration of Pentecost. This community was considered a religious gathering and its members were expected to live according to God's commandments. The word "aglycon" can also refer to specific individuals or groups within the community, such as Jesus' disciples who lived in Nazareth (Mark 6:25) or those from Ephesus who saw Jesus appearing in their midst (Acts 17:23-24).
