What it means

A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.

AI Summary

ὁράω means, at its core, to see or look at something with the eyes — to perceive, behold, or observe 1234. This is its basic and most common use in the New Testament, covering ordinary physical sight.

It also covers seeing with the mind — to perceive, discern, or understand something rather than merely look at it 12.

A further sense is to take heed or beware, used especially in warnings and commands where it means "watch out" or "see to it that..." 12.

By a usage drawn from Hebrew idiom, it can mean to experience something, as in experiencing death, life, or decay rather than simply witnessing it 12.

It can also mean to visit, going to see a person or a place 1.

Related to this is the sense to see to, attend to, or provide for someone or something, i.e. to take care of a matter 13.

In its passive forms the verb can mean to appear, including the appearing of something in a vision; the active can likewise be used of seeing visions 23.
