[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.] Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From a derivative of θεωρός (theōros), meaning "a spectator" or "one who looks at." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H7200 רָאָה (ra'ah): To see, look at, inspect, perceive, consider. • H2372 חָזָה (chazah): To see, behold, perceive, prophesy. These Hebrew terms share a similar range of meanings with θεωρέω, encompassing both physical sight and deeper perception or understanding. Usage: The verb θεωρέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of observing or perceiving with attention and understanding. It is often used in contexts where the observer is gaining insight or knowledge through what is being seen. Context: θεωρέω is a Greek verb that appears frequently in the New Testament, conveying the act of observing with intent and understanding. It is distinct from other Greek verbs for seeing, such as βλέπω (blepō) or ὁράω (horaō), in that it often implies a deeper level of perception or contemplation. In the Gospels, θεωρέω is used to describe the way Jesus' followers and others observed His miracles and teachings. For example, in John 6:2, it is written, "A great crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick." Here, θεωρέω indicates that the crowd was not merely seeing but was also perceiving the significance of Jesus' actions. The verb is also used in contexts of spiritual insight. In John 12:45, Jesus says, "And whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me." This usage suggests a deeper understanding of Jesus' divine mission and identity. θεωρέω is employed in Acts to describe the apostles' witnessing of Jesus' ascension and other significant events, emphasizing their role as observers who are to testify to what they have seen and understood. The term is also used in a more general sense to describe the act of watching or observing, as seen in Mark 15:40, where it describes the women observing from a distance during the crucifixion.
