Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 2328: θερμαίνω θερμαίνω: middle, present θερμαίνομαι; imperfect ἐθερμαινομην; (θερμός); from Homer down; to make warm, to heat; middle to warm oneself: Mark 14:54, 67; John 18:18, 25; James 2:16. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root "θερμός" (thermos), meaning "warm" or "hot." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for θερμαίνω, the concept of warmth and heat is present in several Hebrew words. One such word is חָם (cham • Strong's Hebrew 2525), which means "warm" or "hot." Another related term is יָקַד (yaqad • Strong's Hebrew 3344), meaning "to burn" or "to kindle," often used in the context of lighting a fire for warmth or sacrifice. These Hebrew terms capture the essence of warmth and heat, paralleling the Greek θερμαίνω in its physical and metaphorical implications. Usage: The verb θερμαίνω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of warming oneself, often in the context of physical warmth from a fire. Context: The Greek verb θερμαίνω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals seek physical warmth, typically from a fire. This term is notably used in the Gospels to describe the scene of Peter warming himself by the fire during the trial of Jesus. In John 18:18 (BSB), it is written: "Now the servants and officers were standing there, having made a charcoal fire, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also with them, standing and warming himself." The use of θερμαίνω in this context highlights the human need for warmth and comfort, even amidst moments of spiritual and emotional trial. The act of warming oneself serves as a backdrop to Peter's denial of Jesus, emphasizing the contrast between physical comfort and spiritual challenge. In a broader theological sense, the act of seeking warmth can be seen as a metaphor for seeking comfort or refuge, which is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures. The physical act of warming oneself can parallel the spiritual warmth and comfort found in faith and the presence of God.
