<p> [ | <div> '''1: '''''Μάγος''''' ''' (Strong'S #3097 — Noun Masculine — magos — mag'-os ) </div> <p> (a) "one of a median caste, a magician:" see WISE; (b) "a wizard, sorcerer, a pretender to magic powers, a professor of the arts of witchcraft," Acts 13:6,8 , where [[Bar-Jesus]] was the [[Jewish]] name, Elymas, an Arabic word meaning "wise." Hence the name Magus, "the magician," originally applied to [[Persian]] priests. In the Sept., only in Daniel 2:2,10 , of the "enchanters," RV (AV, "astrologers"), of Babylon. The superior Greek version of Daniel by [[Theodotion]] has it also at 1:20; 2:27; 4:7; 5:7,11,15. </p> <div> '''2: '''''Φάρμακος''''' ''' (Strong'S #5333 — Adjective — pharmakos — far-mak-os' ) </div> <p> an adjective signifying "devoted to magical arts," is used as a noun, "a sorcerer," especially one who uses drugs, potions, spells, enchantments, Revelation 21:8 , in the best texts (some have pharmakeus), and Revelation 22:15 . </p> | ||

<p> One who practised sorcery; nearly synonymous with magician, soothsayer, or wizard. This was a class of persons who dealt in incantations and divinations, and boasted of a power, in consequence of their deep science and by means of certain rites, to evoke the spirits of the dead from their gloomy abodes, and compel them to disclose information on subjects beyond the reach of human powers. </p> <p> They pretended also that, by means of certain herbs and information on subjects beyond the reach of human powers. They pretended also that, by means of certain herbs and incantations, they were able to expel demons, Acts 13:6,8 . Those persons also who devoted themselves to the general studies above mentioned, often abused their knowledge and deceived the common people, by pretending to foretell the destinies of men from the motions and appearances of the planets and stars, and to cure diseases by repeating certain phrases, etc. Of this class appears to have been Simon the sorcerer, mentioned in Acts 8:9,11 . Females who practised such arts were called sorceresses and witches, Malachi 3:5 Revelation 22:15 . See [[Divination]] , [[Enchantments]] , and [[Magic]] . </p> | |||
