Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 5059: τέρας τέρας, genitive τερατος, pl. τέρατα (cf. κέρας, at the beginning), τό (apparently akin to the verb τερρέω; accordingly something so strange as to cause it to be 'watehed' or 'observed'; (others connect it with ἀστήρ, ἀστραπή, etc., hence, 'a sign in the heavens'; Vanicek, p. 1146; Curtius, § 205); see Fritzsche, Ep. ad Romans iii., p. 270), from Homer down, the Sept. for מופֵת, a prodigy, portent; miracle (A. V. wonder) performed by anyone; in the N. T. it is found only in the plural and joined with σημεῖα; for the passages see σημεῖον, p. 574{a}. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The word τέρας is of uncertain affinity, though it is often associated with the idea of something that causes wonder or amazement. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of τέρας in the Greek New Testament corresponds to several Hebrew terms in the Old Testament, such as מוֹפֵת (mopheth, Strong's Hebrew 4159), which is often translated as "wonder" or "miracle." This term is used in the context of signs and wonders performed by God, particularly in the narratives of the Exodus and the prophetic literature, where they serve as demonstrations of God's power and as calls to faith and obedience. Usage: The term τέρας is used in the New Testament to describe miraculous signs or wonders, often in conjunction with the word σημεῖον (sēmeion), meaning "sign." These wonders are typically acts that demonstrate divine power and authority, serving as evidence of God's intervention or the authenticity of His messengers. Context: The Greek word τέρας appears in the New Testament to describe extraordinary events that signify divine intervention. It is often used in conjunction with σημεῖον, emphasizing the miraculous nature of the event as well as its purpose as a sign pointing to a deeper spiritual truth. In the Berean Standard Bible, τέρας is frequently translated as "wonder" or "miracle." In the Gospels and Acts, τέρας is used to describe the miraculous works performed by Jesus and the apostles. For example, in Acts 2:22, Peter speaks of "Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs." Here, τέρας underscores the divine validation of Jesus' ministry. Similarly, in Acts 4:30, the early church prays for boldness to speak God's word while He stretches out His hand to heal, and "signs and wonders" are performed through the name of Jesus. The use of τέρας in the New Testament serves to highlight the power and authority of God, as well as the authenticity of His messengers. These wonders are not mere spectacles but are intended to lead observers to faith and understanding of God's kingdom. They serve as a testament to the truth of the Gospel and the reality of God's active presence in the world.
