Strong's Lexicon dianoigó: To open thoroughly, to open completely Original Word: διανοίγω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: dianoigó Pronunciation: dee-an-oy'-go Phonetic Spelling: (dee-an-oy'-go) Definition: I open fully. Meaning: To open thoroughly, to open up completely, often used in the context of opening the mind or understanding, as well as physical openings. Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and ἀνοίγω (anoigō, meaning "to open"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - פָּתַח (pathach) • Strong's Hebrew 6605: To open, used in contexts of opening the mouth, eyes, or understanding. - גָּלָה (galah) • Strong's Hebrew 1540: To uncover, reveal, often used in the context of revealing secrets or understanding. These Hebrew terms share a conceptual link with διανοίγω, emphasizing the act of opening or revealing, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense, and often involving divine action or insight. Usage: The verb διανοίγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of opening, whether it be physical openings such as eyes or ears, or metaphorical openings such as the mind or understanding. It is often used in contexts where divine intervention or revelation is implied. Context: The Greek verb διανοίγω appears in several key passages in the New Testament, each illustrating its dual application to both physical and spiritual realms. In the Gospel of Luke, διανοίγω is used to describe the opening of the disciples' understanding by Jesus after His resurrection. Luke 24:31 states, "Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him," indicating a moment of spiritual revelation and recognition. Similarly, in Luke 24:45, "Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures," the term is used to describe the divine act of enlightening the disciples' comprehension of the Scriptures. In the Acts of the Apostles, διανοίγω is used in Acts 16:14, where it is written, "The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message," referring to Lydia's conversion. This usage underscores the necessity of divine action in the process of spiritual awakening and acceptance of the Gospel message. The term is also employed in a physical sense, as seen in Mark 7:34-35, where Jesus heals a deaf and mute man: "Immediately the man's ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he began to speak plainly." Here, διανοίγω signifies the miraculous opening of physical faculties, demonstrating Jesus' authority over physical ailments. Overall, διανοίγω encapsulates the concept of opening that transcends the physical to include spiritual enlightenment and understanding, often facilitated by divine intervention. It highlights the transformative power of God's revelation, whether through Christ's earthly ministry or the work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of believers.
