Usage: The verb μνημονεύω is used in the New Testament to denote the act of remembering or calling to mind. It can also imply mentioning or making mention of someone or something in speech or writing.

Context: The Greek verb μνημονεύω appears in various contexts within the New Testament, emphasizing the importance of memory and remembrance in the life of believers. It is often used to encourage the recollection of teachings, events, or individuals that hold spiritual significance.

In Matthew 26:13, Jesus states, "Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her." Here, μνημονεύω underscores the lasting impact of the woman's act of devotion, ensuring it will be remembered throughout history.

Hebrews 13:7 instructs believers to "Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith." Here, μνημονεύω is used to encourage the remembrance of spiritual leaders and their teachings, serving as a model for faith and practice.

The act of remembering is not merely a mental exercise but is often linked to action and transformation. By recalling God's past deeds, promises, and instructions, believers are encouraged to live faithfully and with hope.
