Accumulate, gather in crowds. Epathroízō. As the crowds swelled around Jesus, curiosity alone was never enough. Do not just gather to watch. Follow.

To say, to speak with authority. Jesus said and it was so. When Jesus speaks everything listens. His words carry the weight of creation behind them.

Generation, age, people of an era. Geneá. Jesus spoke of a faithless generation and commanded his disciples to shine like lights among a crooked one. You belong to your moment in history. Shine in it.

Evil, wicked, bad. Poneros. Deliver us from the evil one. The evil one has a name but no ultimate power. He operates only within the limits God permits. His defeat is certain.

To be, to exist. Eimi. When God names himself I AM, he uses this word. Existence itself belongs to him. Ground your identity in the one who simply is.

Sign, miracle, token, wonder. Semeion. Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe. Signs point beyond themselves. The miracle is never the main thing. It points to the One who does it.

To seek, to look for, to desire. Zeteo. Seek first the kingdom of God. Seeking is active not passive. The kingdom does not come to those who wait passively. Seek it.

To give, to grant, to bestow. Didomi. God so loved the world that He gave. Giving is the language of love. The greatest gift is always the giver themselves.

If, whether, that. Ei. Scripture's great conditionals hinge on this word, framing promises, warnings, and tests of faith. If you confess, if you believe, if you remain. The ifs of God are invitations, not uncertainties.

Jonah, Jonas. Iōnâs. The prophet swallowed and returned, a sign of death and resurrection. As Jonah was three days in the belly of the fish, so was the Son of Man in the heart of the earth. No running from God's call goes unfinished.

Prophet, one who speaks forth. Prophetes. No prophecy was ever produced by the will of man. The prophets spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
