Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἄρρωστος, similar concepts of sickness and healing are found in the Hebrew Bible. Some related Hebrew words include:
• חוֹלֶה (choleh) • Strong's Hebrew 2470, meaning "sick" or "ill."
• תַּחֲלֻאִים (tachalu'im) • Strong's Hebrew 8463, meaning "diseases" or "sicknesses."

These Hebrew terms, like ἄρρωστος, are used in contexts where physical illness is present, and they often appear in passages that speak of God's healing power and compassion.

Usage: The word ἄρρωστος is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who are physically unwell or suffering from some form of illness. It appears in contexts where Jesus or the apostles are involved in healing the sick.

Context: The Greek term ἄρρωστος appears in several passages in the New Testament, primarily in the Gospels and Acts, where it is used to describe those who are physically ill and in need of healing. This term underscores the physical ailments that Jesus often encountered during His ministry and highlights His compassion and power to heal.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἄρρωστος is translated as "sick" or "ill." For example, in Mark 6:5, it is recorded, "So He could not perform any miracles there, except to lay His hands on a few of the sick and heal them." This passage illustrates the limited reception Jesus received in His hometown, yet His willingness to heal those who were sick.

Another instance is found in Mark 16:18, where Jesus speaks of signs that will accompany believers: "they will lay hands on the sick, and they will be made well." Here, ἄρρωστος is used to describe those who will experience healing through the faith and actions of believers.

The use of ἄρρωστος in the New Testament reflects the broader biblical theme of God's concern for human suffering and His power to restore health. It also serves as a testament to the early Christian community's emphasis on healing as a sign of God's kingdom breaking into the world.
