The Key Word — βασιλεία, basileiagenerated
The word βασιλεία (*basileia*) means 'kingdom' and is derived from the verb βασιλεύω (*basileuo*), which relates to ruling or reigning. In this verse, it refers specifically to the kingdom of God, emphasizing His divine authority and the spiritual realm over which He reigns.
This term is significant in the New Testament, often indicating both the present reality and future fulfillment of God's reign. It encompasses the idea of God's sovereignty and the establishment of His rule in the hearts of believers.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The Berean Standard Bible renders the verse clearly, stating that Jesus spoke to the crowds about the kingdom of God and healed those who needed healing. Other translations like the KJV and ASV also emphasize the same points but use slightly different wording.
Where the translations differ is in the rendering of ὄχλοι as either crowds (BSB, ASV) or multitudes (YLT), and in the various ways they express the action of speaking and healing, such as spoke (BSB) versus was speaking (YLT).
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is ἠκολούθησαν, they followed, which governs the actions of the crowds. The structure includes several clauses that describe the actions of the crowds and Jesus' responses to them.
The verse can be broken down into a main clause followed by multiple subordinate clauses that detail the interactions: the crowds' following, Jesus' welcoming, His teaching about the kingdom, and the healing of those in need.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
βασιλεία appears in the Septuagint as a translation for Hebrew terms related to kingship and dominion, such as מַמְלָכָה (H4467) and מַלְכוּת (H4438). These terms emphasize God's sovereign rule, which is echoed in Jesus' teaching about the kingdom of God.
The context of βασιλεία in the Old Testament often relates to God's covenant with His people, which Jesus fulfills in His ministry.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Quod cum cognovissent turbæ, secutæ sunt illum : et excepit eos, et loquebatur illis de regno Dei, et eos, qui cura indigebant, sanabat.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

One dossier per word, with every reference work grouped by kind — Greek lexicons, morphology, Bible dictionaries, topical chains and the English of the translators themselves. The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.
Every entry below is the lexicographer's own text. Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word ὄχλος (i.e., *ochlos*) refers to a moving crowd or multitude of people, often implying a throng or mob. It can denote the common people in a political sense, contrasting with the elite.

γινώσκω (ginosko) means to know, perceive, or understand, with a focus on experiential knowledge as opposed to mere intellectual awareness. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including recognizing divine truths and personal relationships, as seen in verses like Matthew 22:18 and John 17:3. The word has a rich range of meanings, including to learn, realize, and even to know carnally, as noted in Matthew 1:25.

ἀκολουθέω (akoloutheo) means to follow or accompany, particularly in the context of discipleship. It is derived from the word for 'following' and is often used in the New Testament to describe the act of following Jesus (e.g., Matthew 4:25). The verb typically takes a dative object, indicating the person being followed. There is a note of distinction in usage, as it replaces the verb ἕπομαι in later Greek.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

ἀποδέχομαι is a Greek verb meaning to receive or accept, often with a sense of welcoming or approving. It is built from the prefix ἀπο- and a root meaning to take. The New Testament uses it in contexts such as receiving people or accepting teachings, notably in Luke and Acts. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

λαλέω (laleo) means to talk or speak, often implying a vocal utterance. It can refer to both human speech and the sounds made by animals or inanimate objects. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as to convey messages or make declarations (e.g., Matthew 9:33). Notably, it differs from λέγω (lego), which focuses more on the meaning of what is said.
In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

One of the workhorse prepositions, standing 333 times. With the genitive it means about, concerning, with reference to.

In this verse it points at what the earlier accounts were about.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word βασιλεία (*basileia*) means 'kingdom' and is derived from βασιλεύω (*basileuo*), which relates to royal power and dominion. It encompasses both abstract concepts of sovereignty and concrete territories ruled by a king. In the New Testament, it frequently refers to the kingdom of God or the Messiah's reign, appearing in various contexts, including present and future aspects of the kingdom.

Read the full entry →βασιλεία. As kingship or sovranty in the abstract is necessarily the root meaning of this word, it is easy to see how the passage into the concrete could either be on the lines of our domznzon (cf. “four Sovereign and his dominions”), or follow the outward and visible szex of royalty. All these three meanings are fully illustrated from the inscriptions by Dittenberger in the Index to OG/S, e.g. (1) 331% (ii/B.c.) ty ἔτει τῆς ἐκείνου βασιλείας, (2) 248!° (ii/B.c.) μέχρι τῶν ὁρίων τῆς ἰδίας βασιλείας, and (3) go (Rosetta Stone, B.c. 196) τὰς τοῦ βασιλέως χρυσᾶς βασιλείας δέκα. It is possible that some passages in the NT might gain in force if this last meaning ‘‘a sign of royalty ” were substituted for ‘‘ royalty” in the abstract—one might compare the line taken by the Reyisers with ἐξουσία in 1 Cor 111%. But it may be doubted whether the change can be made very plausible in auy case. For…

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

θεός (theos) means 'God' or 'a god' and is used in both singular and plural forms. It refers to the supreme deity in monotheistic contexts, as well as to lesser deities in polytheistic settings. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in verses like Matthew 27:46 and Acts 19:37. Some lexicons note its use as a title for rulers or magistrates, reflecting its broader application in ancient texts.

God
(A.S. and Dutch God; Dan. Gud; Ger. Gott), the name of the Divine Being. It is the rendering (1) of the Hebrew ’El, from a word meaning to be strong; (2) of ’Eloah_, plural _’Elohim. The singular form, Eloah, is used only in poetry. The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible, The Hebrew word Jehovah (q.v.), the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being, is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by “LORD,” printed in small capitals. The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible. There is nowhere any argument to prove it. He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (Ps. 14:1).
The arguments generally adduced by theologians in proof of the being of God are:
(1.) The a priori argument, which is the testimony afforded by reason.
(good). Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures two chief names are used for the one true divine Being--ELOHIM, commonly translated God in our version, and JEHOVAH, translated Lord . Elohim is the plural of Eloah (in Arabic Allah); it is often used in the short form EL (a word signifying strength , as in EL-SHADDAI, God Almighty, the name by which God was specially known to the patriarchs. (Genesis 17:1; 28:3; Exodus 6:3) The etymology is uncertain, but it is generally agreed that the primary idea is that of strength, power of effect , and that it properly describes God in that character in which he is exhibited to all men in his works, as the creator, sustainer and supreme governor of the world. The plural form of Elohim has given rise to much discussion. The fanciful idea that it…
This name, the derivation of which is uncertain, we give to that eternal, infinite, perfect, and incomprehensible Being, the Creator of all things, who preserves and governs all by his almighty power and wisdom, and is the only proper object of worship. The proper Hebrew name for God is JEHOVAH, which signifies He is. But the Jews, from a feeling of reverence, avoid pronouncing this name, substituting for it, wherever it occurs in the sacred test, the word ADONAI, Lord; except in the expression, ADONAI JEHOVAH, Lord Jehovah, for which they put, ADONAI ELOHIM, Lord God. This usage, which is not without an element of superstition, is very ancient, dating its origin some centuries before Christ; but there is no good ground for assuming its existence in the days of the inspired Old Testament writers. The proper word for God is ELOHIM, which is plural in its form, being thus used to signify…

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

χρεία (chreia) refers to need or necessity, encompassing a range of meanings from personal wants to business affairs. It appears in various New Testament contexts, such as Acts 28:10 and Ephesians 4:29, indicating both physical needs and spiritual requirements. The word is derived from the root of χράομαι and can imply a lack or demand for something essential.

The Greek word ἔχω, transliterated as echō, means 'to have' or 'to hold' and is used in various contexts, including possession, ability, and condition. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often relating to physical possession or metaphorical concepts like keeping faith or emotions. Notably, it can also refer to being pregnant, as seen in Matthew 1:18. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

θεραπεία (therapeia) is derived from θεραπεύω and encompasses meanings related to service, particularly medical treatment or healing. It can also refer to a collective group of attendants or domestics. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts of healing in Luke 9:11 and Revelation 22:2, while other sources highlight its use in religious and nurturing services.
θεραπεία, -as, ἡ. (θεραπεύω) ; 1. service, rendered by any one to another. 2. spec. medical service, curing, healing: Lk. ix. 11; Rev. xxii. 2, ([Hippoer.], Plat., Tsoer., Polyb.). 3. by meton. household, i.e. body of attendants, servants, domestics: Mt. xxiv. 45 RG; Lk. xii. 42, (and often so in Grk. writ.; cf. Lob. ad Phryn. p. 469; for Ὁ" 12}», Gen. xlv. 16).
θεραπεία. An interesting example of this subst. = ‘‘ medical treatment,” a ‘‘cure” in the sense in which we often use that term, as in Lk ΟἿΣ, is found in P Tebt I. 44° (B.c. 114) where the writer states that he had been staying in the great temple of Isis ἐπὶ θεραπείαι. . . χάριν τῆς περιεχούσης pe ἀρρωστίας, 1.4. not ‘‘for devotional purposes,” but, as the editors alternatively render the phrase in their note, ‘‘ for medical treatment on account of the sickness from which I am suffering”: cf. Wilcken Cérest. I. p. 1g8 “zur Kur.” The word is found in the same sense in the new Logion, P Oxy I. 1 recto! λέγει ᾿Τησοῦς, οὐκ ἔστιν δεκτὸς προφήτης ἐν τῇ πατρίδι αὐτ[ο]ῦ, οὐδὲ ἰατρὸς ποιεῖ θεραπείας εἰς τοὺς γεινώσκοντας αὐτόν.

hel'-ing (marpe', te`alah, kehah): In the Old Testament this word is always used in its figurative sense; marpe', which literally means "a cure," is used in Jer 14:19 twice, and in Mal 4:2; te`alah, which literally means "an irrigation canal," here means something applied externally, as a plaster, in which sense it is used metaphorically in Jer 30:13; kehah occurs only in Na 3:19 the King James Version and is translated "assuagings" in the Revised Version (British and American).
In the New Testament 5 times the verb is therapeuo; once (Ac 10:38) iaomai; in the other passages it is either iama, as in
3 occurrences in the New Testament, rendered 2 different ways. The commonest English word for it is not its meaning — it is one translator's decision, repeated.

ἰάομαι is a Greek verb meaning 'to heal' or 'to cure,' used both literally and figuratively. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including physical healing and spiritual restoration. The word is related to the Hebrew term for healing found in the Septuagint. There is a distinction noted between ἰάομαι and θεραπεύω, with the former focusing more on healing rather than medical treatment.
ἰάομαι, -ῶμαι,
[in LXX for רפא (Ge 20:17, al.), exc. Is 30:26 61:1 (חבשׁ);]
to heal: c. acc. pers., Lk 5:17 6:19 9:2, 11, 42 14:4 22:51, Jo 4:47, Ac 9:34 10:38 28:8; pass., Mt 8:8, 13 15:28, Lk 7:7 8:47 17:15, Jo 5:13; id. seq. ἀπό, Mk 5:29, Lk 6:17; fig., of spiritual healing, Mt 13:15, Jo 12:40, Ac 28:27(LXX); pass., Read the full entry →
ἰάομαι. As distinguished from θεραπεύω ““ treat medically’ (see s.v. and cf. Ac 2885) ἰάομαι denotes ‘‘heal,” as in Sy// 802" (referred to s.v. ἴαμα) ἀνὴρ δάκτυλον ἰάθη ὑπὸ ὄφιος, and the similar 8037 τοῦτο]ν τυφλὸν ἐόντα ἰάσατο : cf. also the magic text BGU IV. 1026**4- 16 αἱμάροϊαν ἰᾶται. On the Lukan usage of the verb see Hobart, p. 8ff., and on the ‘‘aoristic present” in Ac 9533 see Proleg. p. 119. Thayer's hint of a connexion with ἰός is not supported by modern philologists, see Boisacq, p. 362. Part IV. 2 a

Counted over the 40 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.
καὶ πρότερον περὶ τοῦ θυμοῦ, θεραπεύων αὐτὸν καὶ ἰώμενος, διαλέγεται οὕτως·
ὅτι ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτοῦ ἡμέραι ἔσονται πονηραὶ καὶ ῥυπαραί, ἐν αἷς ἡμεῖς σωθησόμεθα: ὅτι καὶ ὁ ἀλγῶν σάρκα διὰ τοῦ ῥύπου τοῦ ὑσσύπου ἰᾶται.
ὡς ἔχομεν καιρὸν τοῦ ἰαθῆναι, ἐπιδῶμεν ἑαυτοὺς τῷ θεραπεύοντι θεῷ, ἀντιμισθίαν αὐτῷ διδόντες.
χαίρειν καὶ διὰ παντὸς ὑγιαίνειν. εὐχαριστῶ σοι λίαν ὅτι ἤκουσας τὴν οἰκίαν μου οἰκοδόμους ἰαθῆναι. οὐκ ἀπέστειλές μοι φάσιν ἢ μναιαῖον ἢ κόλλημα ἀγράφου. ἵνα μοι γράψας ἐπιστολὴν ἀποστείλῃς.
