Amen is the word used at the end of a [[prayer]]. It is a [[Hebrew]] word meaning something like "certainly" or "may it be so".
===Use in the Old Testament===
In the [[Old Testament]] it appears as a respose to the statement of someone else, sometimes in a worship setting.

The first Greek speaking [[Christian]]s kept this Hebrew word as a response to prayer.
Jesus used "Amen" as an opening affirmation of truth: "Amen I say to you..." ([[Matthew 5:18]])
The [[Koine Greek]] word for "Amen" is simpy the transliteration '''Αμεν'''.
