Meaning: begotten of Mercury · Male · 1 cross reference
Hermogenes is one of those in Asia who turns away from Paul. He belongs to the New Testament's more sobering record of abandonment and strain within the mission field. First appears in 2 Tim 1:15.1
AI summary: Hermogenes matters because his single cross reference reminds the reader that apostolic ministry included painful experiences of desertion as well as support. The entry gives the church a personal example of how fear or pressure could fracture loyalty. Taken together, the material presents Hermogenes as a cautionary figure in the hardships surrounding Paul's work.1
