2. to see; i. e.

a. to perceive with the eyes: πνεῦμα, Luke 24:37; τινα with a participle, Luke 24:39; τινα, ὅτι, John 9:8; τό πρόσωπον τίνος (after the Hebrew; see πρόσωπον, 1 a.), equivalent to to enjoy the presence of one, have contact with him, Acts 20:38; οὐκέτι θεωρεῖν τινα, used of one from whose sight a person has been withdrawn, John 14:19; οὐ θεωρεῖ κόσμος τό πνεῦμα, i. e. so to speak, has no eyes with which it can see the Spirit; he cannot render himself visible to it, cannot give it his presence and power, John 14:17.

Lücke, Meyer (yet cf. Weiss in the 6te Aufl.), Baumg.-Crusius, in the place cited); τόν θάνατον i. e. to die, John 8:51; and on the other hand, τήν δόξαν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, to be a partaker of the glory, i. e. the blessed condition in heaven, which Christ enjoys, John 17:24, cf. John 17:22. (Compare: ἀναθεωρέω, παραθεωρέω.) [SYNONYMS: θεωρεῖν, θέασθαι, ὁρᾶν, σκοπεῖν: θεωρεῖν is used primarily not of an indifferent spectator, but of one who looks at a thing with interest and for a purpose; θεωρεῖν would be used of a general officially reviewing or inspecting an army, θέασθαι of a lay spectator looking at the parade. θεωρεῖν as denoting the careful observation of details can even be contrasted with ὁρᾶν in so far as the latter denotes only perception in the general; so used θεωρεῖν quite coincides with σκοπεῖν Schmidt 1:11; see also Green, 'Critical Note' on Matthew 7:3. Cf. under the words, ὁράω, σκοπέω.]

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

A tendency to use θεωρέω more lightly might be deduced from such passages as P Tebt I. 58.25 (B.C. III) οὗτος οὖν θεωρήσας με ὡς προσεδρεύοντα καθ᾽ ήμέραν ὡσεὶ δεδίλανται, ";seeing me in daily attendance he has as it were turned coward"; (Edd.), though ";watched"; will translate it here; ib. 61(b).33 (B.C. 118–7) ἠξίου [ν ] . . . συνθεωρεῖσθαι, ";conquiri,"; and again .373 θεωρῆσ [θαι (l. τεθεωρῆσ [θαι) ἐκ τῆς ] γε [γεν ]ημένης εἰκασίας μετὰ ταῦτα, ";it was perceived from the subsequent estimate."; But whether the verb belonged to the Volkssprache (Blass N. T. Grammatik.2, p. 59, s.v. ὁρᾶν) or not, it was hardly a synonym of ὁράω : cf. the use of the two verbs in John 16:16 (Abbott Joh. Voc., p. 104 ff.). See P Oxy I. 33 versoiii. 9 (ii/A.D.) θεωρήσατε ἕνα ἀπ᾽ αἰῶνος ἀπαιγόμ [ενο ]ν, ";behold one led off to death"; (lit. ";from life";), P Giss I. 9.10 (ii/A.D.) ὡς δὲ οὐτὲ ἴχνος ἐθεώρο [υν, of a woman searching for her husband, and the Christian P Heid 6.9 (iv/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 126) ἐγῖθεν (l. ἐκεῖθεν) θεωροῦμέν σε τὸν δεσπότην καὶ κενὸν (l. καινὸν) (π) [τ ]ρω [να, ";wherefore we regard you as master and new patron."; Similarly from the inscrr. OGIS 751.9 (ii/B.C.) θεωρῶν οὖν ὑμᾶς μετανενοηκότας τε ἐπὶ τοῖ [ς ] προημαρτημένοις, Priene 113.72 (i/B.C.) τελειῶν δ᾽ ὁ μετὰ ταῦτα χρόνος ἐθεωρεῖτο πρὸς τὴν εἰς τὸ πλῆ [θος ] ἀρέσκειαν, and OGIS 666.10 (c. A.D. 55) ἡ Αἴγυπτος, τὰς τοῦ Νείλου δωρεὰς ἐπαυξομένας κατ᾽ ἔτος θεωροῦσα, νῦν μᾶλλον ἀπέλαυσε τῆς δικαίας ἀναβάσεως τοῦ θεοῦ. Boisacq (p. 343) derives the word from θέα and ὁράω. MGr θωρῶ = θεωρῶ (see Thumb Hellen., p. 17).
