primarily signifies "to serve as a therapon, and attendant;" then, "to care for the sick, to treat, cure, heal" (Eng., "therapeutics"). It is chiefly used in Matthew and Luke, once in John (John 5:10 ), and, after the Acts, only Revelation 13:3,12 . See CURE.

akin to A, No. 2, formerly signified "a means of healing;" in the NT, "a healing" (the result of the act), used in the plural, in 1 Corinthians 12:9,28,30 , RV, "healings;" of Divinely imparted gifts in the churches in apostolic times.

B — 3: ἴασις
