Abba
Abba is an Aramaic 1 term for "father". It is transliterated (written phonetically) in the Greek New Testament as 'abba'. The word is used by Jesus in Mark 14:36 and by Paul in Rom. 8:15 and Gal. 4:6. It was a term of endearment. Each occurace of the word is in the vocative. This means it is used that a noun is referencing a person, "O Father!"
Each of the three occurances of the word do so with the Greek 'pater' which means 'father". So, each occurace appears as "abba ho pater," which is "Abba, Father!".
- 1. Aramaic is a dialect of Hebrew
