Usage: The verb κράζω is used in the New Testament to describe a loud vocal expression, often conveying urgency, emotion, or a need for attention. It is frequently used in contexts where individuals are seeking help, expressing strong emotions, or proclaiming important messages. Context: The Greek verb κράζω appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, illustrating its versatility in conveying intense vocal expressions. It is often associated with moments of desperation, divine revelation, or public proclamation. In the Gospels, κράζω is used to describe the cries of those seeking Jesus' healing or mercy. For instance, in Matthew 9:27, two blind men follow Jesus, "crying out" for His mercy. Similarly, in Mark 10:47-48, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, "cries out" to Jesus, acknowledging Him as the "Son of David" and pleading for mercy. The verb also appears in contexts of divine or prophetic revelation. In John 7:28, Jesus "cries out" in the temple, teaching about His divine origin and mission. This usage underscores the authority and urgency of His message. In the Book of Acts, κράζω is used to describe the tumultuous cries of crowds, such as in Acts 19:28, where the Ephesians "cry out" in defense of their goddess Artemis, demonstrating the word's application in public and communal settings. The Book of Revelation employs κράζω to depict the cries of heavenly beings and martyrs. In Revelation 6:10, the souls of the martyrs "cry out" for justice, highlighting the word's role in expressing deep spiritual longing and the quest for divine intervention. Overall, κράζω is a powerful verb that captures the intensity of human emotion and the urgency of divine communication, reflecting the dynamic interaction between the divine and human realms in the biblical narrative.
