        <p> <strong> COUSIN </strong> . [[Elisabeth]] is called Mary’s ‘cousin’ in Luke 1:36 , and the relationship is often understood in the modern sense of that word. But ‘cousin’ in the English of 1611 meant no more than kinsman or kinswoman. The relationship between Mary and Elisabeth is not known. </p>

        <div> 1: Ἀνεψιός <div> <audio> </audio> <button> ► </button> </div> (Strong'S #431 — Noun Masculine — anepsios — an-eps'-ee-os ) </div> <p> in Colossians 4:10 denotes a "cousin" rather than a nephew (AV, "sister's son"). "Cousin" is its meaning in various periods of [[Greek]] writers. In this sense it is used in the Sept., in Numbers 36:11 . In later writings it denotes a nephew; hence the AV rendering. As Lightfoot says, there is no reason to suppose that the [[Apostle]] would have used it in any other than its proper sense. We are to understand, therefore, that Mark was the cousin of Barnabas. See Sister. </p> <div> 2: Συγγενής <div> <audio> </audio> <button> ► </button> </div> (Strong'S #4773 — Adjective — sungenis — soong-ghen-ace' ) </div> <p> in Luke 1:36 (so in the most authentic mss.) and sungenes in Luke 1:58 (plural), AV, "cousin" and "cousins," respectively signify "kinswoman" and "kinsfolk," (RV); so the RV and AV in Luke 2:44; 21:16 . The word lit. signifies "born with," i.e., of the same stock, or descent; hence "kinsman, kindred." See [[Kin]] , [[Kinsfolk]] , Kinswoman. </p>

        <p> '''''kuz''''' ´''''''n''''' ( ἀνεψιός , <i> '''''anepsiós''''' </i> ): Only in Colossians 4:10 , where Mark is said to be "cousin" (Revised Version) to Barnabas, and not as in the King James Version, "sister's son." The renderings "cousin" of the King James Version for συγγενής , <i> '''''suggenḗs''''' </i> , in Luke 1:36 , Luke 1:58 were probably understood at the time of the translation, in the wider, and not in the more restricted, sense of the term, now almost universally prevalent. In view of this the renderings "kinswoman," "kinsfolk" in the Revised Version (British and American) are preferable. As a title of honor and dignity, it occurs in 1 [[Esdras]] 4:42, etc. See [[Kinsman]] . </p>

        <p> is given ( Luke 1:36; Luke 1:58) by the Auth. Vers. in its vague acceptation as the rendering of συγγενής, a blood-relative, or " kinsman," as elsewhere translated. So also in the [[Apocrypha]] ( 1 [[Esdras]] 3:7; 1 Esdras 4:42; [[Tobit]] 6:10; 2 [[Maccabees]] 11:1; 2 Maccabees 11:35). </p>
