Strong's Lexicon iaomai: To heal, cure, restore Original Word: ἰάομαι Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7495 (רָפָא, rapha): To heal, make healthful - H4832 (מַרְפֵּא, marpe): Healing, cure Usage: The Greek verb "iaomai" primarily means to heal or cure, often in a physical sense, but it can also refer to spiritual or emotional healing. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to describe the miraculous healings performed by Jesus and the apostles, signifying not only physical restoration but also the wholeness and salvation that comes through faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, healing was often associated with various deities and rituals. However, the New Testament presents Jesus as the ultimate healer, whose authority over sickness and disease demonstrates His divine power and compassion. The act of healing was a sign of the in-breaking Kingdom of God, where restoration and wholeness are central themes. The use of "iaomai" in the New Testament underscores the belief in Jesus as the Messiah who fulfills Old Testament prophecies of healing and restoration. HELPS Word-studies 2390 iáomai (a primitive verb, NAS dictionary) – healing, particularly as supernatural and bringing attention to the Lord Himself as the Great Physician (cf. Is 53:4,5). Example: Lk 17:15: "Now one of them [i.e. the ten lepers], when he saw that he had been healed (2390 /iáomai), turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice."
