These Hebrew terms similarly convey the concept of healing and restoration, often used in the Old Testament to describe God's power to heal both physical and spiritual ailments.

Usage: The verb ἰάομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of healing, often in the context of Jesus' miraculous healings. It conveys both physical and spiritual restoration.

Context: The Greek verb ἰάομαι appears in the New Testament primarily in the context of healing miracles performed by Jesus and His disciples. It is a term that encompasses both physical healing and spiritual restoration, reflecting the holistic nature of biblical healing. The use of ἰάομαι underscores the divine power and authority of Jesus as the Great Physician, who not only addresses physical ailments but also offers forgiveness and spiritual renewal.

In the Gospels, ἰάομαι is frequently used to describe Jesus' healing ministry. For example, in Luke 5:17, it is noted, "And the power of the Lord was with Him to heal the sick." This highlights the divine authority and compassion of Jesus in addressing human suffering. Similarly, in Matthew 8:8, the centurion expresses faith in Jesus' ability to heal with a word, saying, "But just say the word, and my servant will be healed."

The term is also used in the context of spiritual healing, as seen in passages like 1 Peter 2:24, which states, "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His stripes you are healed." Here, ἰάομαι signifies the redemptive work of Christ, offering healing from the spiritual malady of sin.

The holistic nature of ἰάομαι is further emphasized in the Book of Acts, where the apostles continue Jesus' healing ministry. In Acts 9:34, Peter says to Aeneas, "Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!" This demonstrates the continuation of Jesus' healing power through His followers.

Overall, ἰάομαι is a significant term that encapsulates the restorative work of God through Christ, offering both physical and spiritual healing to those who believe.
