Healing Heal

'''A — 1: θεραπεύω (Strong'S #2323 — Verb — therapeuo — ther-ap-yoo'-o )

primarily signifies "to serve as a therapon, and attendant;" then, "to care for the sick, to treat, cure, heal" (Eng., "therapeutics"). It is chiefly used in Matthew and Luke, once in John ( John 5:10 ), and, after the Acts, only  Revelation 13:3,12 . See Cure.

'''A — 2: ἰάομαι (Strong'S #2390 — Verb — iaomai — ee-ah'-om-ahee )

"to heal," is used (a) of physical treatment 22 times; in  Matthew 15:28 , Av, "made whole," Rv, "healed;" so in  Acts 9:34; (b) figuratively, of spiritual "healing,"  Matthew 13:15;  John 12:40;  Acts 28;27;  Hebrews 12:13;  1 Peter 2:24; possibly,  James 5:16 includes both (a) and (b); some mss. have the word, with sense (b), in   Luke 4:18 . Apart from this last, Luke, the physician, uses the word fifteen times. See Whole.

'''A — 3: σῴζω (Strong'S #4982 — Verb — sozo — sode'-zo )

"to save," is translated by the verb "to heal" in the Av of  Mark 5:23;  Luke 8:36 (Rv, "to make whole;" so Av frequently); the idea is that of saving from disease and its effects. See Save.

'''A — 4: διασῴζω (Strong'S #1295 — Verb — diasozo — dee-as-odze'-o )

"to save thoroughly" (dia, "through," and No. 3), is translated "heal" in  Luke 7:3 , Av (Rv, "save"). See Escape.

'''B — 1: θεραπεία (Strong'S #2322 — Noun Feminine — therapeia — ther-ap-i'-ah )

akin to A, No. 1, primarily denotes "care, attention,"  Luke 12:42 (see Household); then, "medical service, healing" (Eng., "therapy"),   Luke 9:11;  Revelation 22:2 , of the effects of the leaves of the tree of life, perhaps here with the meaning "health."

'''B — 2: ἴαμα (Strong'S #2386 — Noun Neuter — iama — ee'-am-ah )

akin to A, No. 2, formerly signified "a means of healing;" in the Nt, "a healing" (the result of the act), used in the plural, in  1 Corinthians 12:9,28,30 , Rv, "healings;" of Divinely imparted gifts in the churches in apostolic times.

'''B — 3: ἴασις (Strong'S #2392 — Noun Feminine — iasis — ee'-as-is )

akin to A, No. 2, stresses the process as reaching completion,  Luke 13:32 , "cures," of the acts of Christ in the days of His flesh;  Acts 4:22,30 , "to heal," lit. 'unto healing.'
