These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe seeing with insight or understanding, akin to the New Testament usage of ἐμβλέπω. Usage: The verb ἐμβλέπω is used in the New Testament to describe a focused or intent gaze, often implying a deeper level of perception or understanding. It is used in contexts where a significant or meaningful observation is being made. Context: The Greek verb ἐμβλέπω appears in several New Testament passages, often conveying a sense of deep observation or contemplation. This term is used to describe moments when individuals are looking intently, often leading to a significant realization or action. For example, in Mark 10:21, "Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said, 'You lack one thing...'" Here, ἐμβλέπω indicates Jesus' penetrating gaze that precedes His compassionate response and instruction. Similarly, in Luke 22:61, "And the Lord turned and looked at Peter," the use of ἐμβλέπω underscores the profound moment of recognition and conviction for Peter after his denial of Christ.
