The Definition of the word Jupiter

Jupiter

The principal deity of the ancient Greeks and Romans. He was worshipped by them under various epithets. Barnabas was "identified with this god by the Lycaonians (Acts 14:12), because" "he was of stately and commanding presence, as they supposed" Jupiter to be. There was a temple dedicated to this god outside the gates of Lystra (14:13).
