Topical Lexicon
Word Origin:From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and δείκνυμι (deiknymi, meaning "to show" or "to point out").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of showing or demonstrating in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Hebrew words, such as:
- יָדַע (yada, Strong'sH3045): To know, to make known, to declare.
- רָאָה (ra'ah, Strong'sH7200): To see, to show, to appear.
- נָגַד (nagad, Strong'sH5046): To tell, to declare, to make known.
These Hebrew terms, like ἐπιδείκνυμι, involve the communication or revelation of information, often with the intent of making something clear or evident.
Usage:The verb ἐπιδείκνυμι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of showing or demonstrating something, often with the implication of proving or making something evident. It can refer to both literal and figurative displays.
Context:The Greek verb ἐπιδείκνυμι appears in the New Testament in contexts where something is being shown or demonstrated, often with the purpose of proving a point or making something clear. This term is used to convey the act of displaying or exhibiting something in a way that is meant to be seen and understood by others.
In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐπιδείκνυμι is used in passages that emphasize the demonstration of truth or the manifestation of divine power and authority. For example, inActs 25:7, the term is used to describe the Jews who "brought many serious charges against him, which they could not prove." Here, the word underscores the inability to demonstrate or substantiate their accusations.
The verb is also used in contexts where God's power or attributes are made evident. InRomans 9:17, Paul writes, "For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: 'I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.'" The use of ἐπιδείκνυμι here highlights the demonstration of God's power through historical events.
Theologically, ἐπιδείκνυμι can be understood as a term that underscores the importance of evidence and manifestation in the communication of divine truths. It reflects the biblical theme that God's actions and attributes are often made known through visible and tangible demonstrations.
