Householder
HOUSEHOLDER.This term as well as goodman of the house, master of the house, are different translations of the same Greek word . It is rendered householder in the parables of the Tares and the Wheat (Mat 13:27), of the Owner bringing forth his treasures new and old (Mat 13:52), of the Labourers in the Vineyard (Mat 20:1), of the Vineyard let out to husbandmen (Mat 21:33), with special application to Christ as Head of the Church. The phrase goodman of the house is applied (Mar 14:14, Luk 22:11) to the owner of the house in which the Last Supper was to be prepared. The translation master of the house is found in Luk 12:39 Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 (Authorized Version goodman), Mat 24:43, of the owner or overseer whose duty it is to protect his property against the thief in the night. It occurs also in the parable of the Great Supper, Luk 14:21 (corresponding to the king of Mat 22:2; Mat 22:7), also as denoting the head of the house whose persecution involves that of his subordinates, Mat 10:25 (see Household); and once more in the parable of the Unfaithful, against whom the door was shut, Luk 13:25 (cf. parable of the Ten Virgins, Matthew 25).

Householder
“a master of a house” (oikos, “a house,” despotes, “a master”), is rendered “master of the house” in Mat 10:25; Luk 13:25; Luk 14:21, where the context shows that the authority of the “householder” is stressed; in Mat 24:43; Luk 12:39, the RV “master of the house” (AV, “goodman of the house,” does not give the exact meaning); “householder” is the rendering in both versions in Mat 13:27, Mat 13:52; Mat 20:1; Mat 21:33; so the RV in Mat 20:11 (for AV, “goodman of the house”); both have “goodman of the house” in Mar 14:14; in Luk 22:11, “goodman.” See GOODMAN.
corresponding to A, “to rule a house,” is used in 1Ti 5:14, RV, “rule the household” (AV, “guide the house”).
