Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word "κυλλός," which is an adjective.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of being crippled or lame in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with terms such as "פִּסֵּחַ" (pisseach • Strong's Hebrew 6455), which similarly denotes lameness or being crippled, particularly in the context of individuals who are unable to walk properly. This Hebrew term is used in various Old Testament passages to describe physical impairments and is often associated with the need for divine intervention or healing.

Usage: The word "κυλλός" appears in the New Testament to describe individuals who are physically impaired, specifically in the context of miraculous healings performed by Jesus.

Context: The Greek term "κυλλός" is used in the New Testament to denote a physical condition of being crippled or lame. This term is notably used in the context of Jesus' healing ministry, where individuals with such physical impairments are restored to full health. The use of "κυλλός" highlights the transformative power of Jesus' miracles, demonstrating His authority over physical ailments and His compassion for those suffering.

In the Berean Standard Bible, "κυλλός" is found in passages such as Matthew 15:30-31, where large crowds bring the lame, blind, crippled, mute, and many others to Jesus, and He heals them. The miraculous healings serve as a testament to Jesus' divine nature and His fulfillment of Messianic prophecies, which foretold the restoration of the physically afflicted.

The healing of the "κυλλός" is not merely a physical restoration but also a symbol of spiritual renewal and the coming of God's kingdom. The acts of healing underscore the inclusivity of Jesus' ministry, reaching out to those marginalized by society due to their physical conditions.
