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
οἶδα means to know — to have knowledge or awareness of something or someone. This covers knowing a fact 1, knowing a person 1, knowing that something is so 1, knowing the answer to a question 1, and knowing how to do something 13. The form used in the New Testament is a past-tense form that functions with a present meaning, "I know" 123.
The word is built on a root whose basic, literal sense is to see 23; from this, "knowing" developed as what a person has when they have perceived or become aware of something 23. In the Bible the word is regularly used in the "know" sense rather than the literal "see" sense.
In at least one case the word carries the further nuance of to respect or appreciate someone, rather than simply to be aware of them 1.
