Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἰάομαι, ἰαωμαι; (perhaps from ἰός, Lob. Technol., p. 157f; cf. Vanicek, p. 87); a deponent verb, whose present, imperfect ἰωμην, future ἰάσομαι, and 1 aorist middle ἰασάμην have an active significance, but whose perfect passive ἴαμαι, 1 aorist passive ἰάθην, and 1 future passive ἰαθήσομαι have a passive significance (cf. Krüger, § 40, under the word; (Veitch, under the word; Buttmann, 52 (46); Winers Grammar, § 38, 7 c.)); (from Homer down); the Sept. for רָפָא; to heal, cure: τινα, Luke 4:18 R L brackets; (here T WH omit; Tr brackets the accusative), Luke 9:11, 42; Luke 14:4; Luke 22:51; John 4:47; Acts 9:34; Acts 10:38; Acts 28:8; passive, Matthew 8:8, 13; Matthew 15:28; Luke 7:7; Luke 8:45; Luke 17:15; John 5:13 (Tdf. ἀσθενῶν); and Acts 3:11 Rec.; τινα ἀπό τίνος, to cure (i. e. by curing to free) one of (literally, from; cf. Buttmann, 322 (277)) a disease: passive, Mark 5:29; Luke 6:18 (). tropically, to make whole i. e. to free from errors and sins, to bring about (one's) salvation: Matthew 13:15; John 12:40; Acts 28:27 (from Isaiah 6:10); passive, 1 Peter 2:24; James 5:16; in figurative discourse, in passive: Hebrews 12:13.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

As distinguished from θεραπεύω ";treat medically"; (see s.v. θεραπεύω and cf. Acts 28:8 f.) ἰάομαι denotes ";heal,"; as in Syll 802.113 (referred to s.v. ἴαμα) ανὴρ δάκτυλον ἰάθη ὑπὸ ὄφιος, and the similar 803.7 τοῦτο ]ν τυφλὸν ἐόντα ἰάσατο : cf. also the magic text BGU IV. 1026xxii. 15 αἱμάροϊαν ἰᾶται. On the Lukan usage of the verb see Hobart, p. 8 ff., and on the ";aoristic present"; in Acts 9:34 see Proleg. p. 119. Thayer’s hint of a connexion with ἰός is not supported by modern philologists, see Boisacq, p. 362.
