Usage: The verb διανοίγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of opening, whether it be physical openings such as eyes or ears, or metaphorical openings such as the mind or understanding. It is often used in contexts where divine intervention or revelation is implied. Context: The Greek verb διανοίγω appears in several key passages in the New Testament, each illustrating its dual application to both physical and spiritual realms. In the Gospel of Luke, διανοίγω is used to describe the opening of the disciples' understanding by Jesus after His resurrection. Luke 24:31 states, "Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him," indicating a moment of spiritual revelation and recognition. Similarly, in Luke 24:45, "Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures," the term is used to describe the divine act of enlightening the disciples' comprehension of the Scriptures.
