^CXXI “people” = aner. Same as “men” in v21. See note LXXXIV above.
^CXXII “recognized” = epiginosko. From epi (on, upon, what is fitting) + ginosko (to know, recognize, realize, perceive, learn; gaining knowledge through personal experience). This is to perceive, discern, acknowledge, recognize, know exactly because of direct interaction.

^CXXIII “sent” = apostello. Related to “far” in v24 & “doubt” in v31. From apo (from, away from) + stello (to send, set, arrange, prepare, gather up); {probably from histemi (see note XCIII above)}. This is to send forth, send away, dismiss, send as a messenger. It implies one that is sent for a particular mission or purpose rather than a quick errand. This is where “apostle” comes from.
^CXXIV “throughout” = eis + holos. Literally “into the whole.” Holos is whole, complete, or entire. It is a state where every member is present and functioning in concert. This is the root of the word “whole.”
^CXXV “brought” = prosphero. Related to “brought” in v11. From pros (at, to, with, towards, advantageous for) + phero (to bear, bring, lead, make known publicly; to carry in a literal or figurative sense). This is to offer gifts or sacrifices, to bring up.
^CXXVI “sick” = kakos. 16x in NT. From kakos (bad, evil, harm, ill; evil that is part of someone’s core character – intrinsic, rotted, worthless, depraved, causing harm; deep inner malice that comes from a rotten character; can be contrasted with the Greek poneros, which is that which bears pain – a focus on the miseries and pains that come with evil; also contrasting the Greek sapros, which deals with falling away from a previously embodied virtue). This is wrongly, badly, cruelly, with bad motives, misery connected to affliction. It can be physically badly or morally badly, i.e. evilly.

^CXXVII “begged” = parakaleo. From para (beside, by, in the presence of) + kaleo (to call by name, invite, to name, bid, summon, call aloud) {related to keleuo (to command, order, direct); from kelomai (to urge on)}. This is to call to, summon, invite, request, or beg. It can also be exhort or admonish. Also, this can be encourage, comfort, or console. This word has legal overtones and is used of one’s advocate in a courtroom. It is the root of the name of the Holy Spirit “paraclete” is our advocate and comforter.
^CXXVIII “touch” = haptomai. From hapto (to touch, handle, kindle, lay hold of). This is a touch that has an impact on what is being touched – it has an influence on the recipient so that the recipient is changed.
^CXXIX “fringe” = kraspedon. 5x in NT. This is a border – a fringe, edge, or tassel.
^CXXX “cloak” = himation. From heima (garment) OR from ennumi (to put on). This is the outer garment, cloak, robe, or mantle. It is worn loosely over a tunic.
^CXXXI “healed” = diasozo. Related to “save” in v30. 8x in NT. From dia (through, across to the other side, thoroughly) + sozo (see note CIX above). This is thoroughly saved or delivered from danger. It can also be to make someone entirely whole, to cure, or preserve.
