Strong's Lexicon anakrazó: To cry out, to shout Original Word: ἀνακράζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: anakrazó Pronunciation: an-ak-rad'-zo Phonetic Spelling: (an-ak-rad'-zo) Definition: I shout aloud, cry out. Meaning: To cry out, to shout aloud, to exclaim with a loud voice. Word Origin: From ἀνά (ana, "up" or "again") and κράζω (krazō, "to cry out" or "to shout") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of crying out or shouting in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by words such as צָעַק (tsa'aq, Strong's Hebrew 6817) and זָעַק (za'aq, Strong's Hebrew 2199), both of which convey the idea of crying out or calling for help. These Hebrew terms similarly express urgency and intensity in vocal expressions, often in prayer or distress. Usage: The verb ἀνακράζω is used in the New Testament to describe instances where individuals or groups cry out loudly, often in moments of strong emotion or urgent need. It conveys a sense of intensity and urgency in the vocal expression. Context: The Greek verb ἀνακράζω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals express themselves with a loud and urgent cry. This term is often associated with moments of desperation, revelation, or intense emotion. For example, in the Gospel of Luke, ἀνακράζω is used to describe the reaction of a demon-possessed man who recognizes Jesus: "In the synagogue there was a man possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon. He cried out (ἀνακράζω) with a loud voice" (Luke 4:33, BSB). This usage highlights the recognition of Jesus' authority and the demon's fear. The verb is also used in situations where people are seeking help or expressing a profound need. In Luke 18:38, a blind man cries out to Jesus for mercy: "So he called out (ἀνακράζω), 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!'" (BSB). This instance underscores the man's faith and desperation for healing. The use of ἀνακράζω in the New Testament reflects the human condition of seeking divine intervention and the acknowledgment of Jesus' power and authority. It is a term that captures the raw and unfiltered expression of the human heart in moments of crisis or revelation.
