lit., "lacking strength" (a negative, sthenos, "strength"), "weakness, infirmity," is translated "diseases" in Matthew 8:17 , RV, for AV, "sicknesses," and in Acts 28:9 . Its usual rendering is "infirmity" or "infirmities;" "sickness," in John 11:4 . Cp. B, No. 1. See INFIRMITY , SICKNESS , WEAKNESS.
primarily denotes "softness" (cp. malakos, "soft," Matthew 11:8 , etc.); hence, "debility, disease." It is found in Matthew only, Matthew 4:23; 9:35; 10:1 . It is frequent in the Sept., e.g., Genesis 42:4; 44:29; Deuteronomy 7:15; 28:61; Isaiah 38:9; 53:3 .
akin to Lat. nocere, "to injure" (Eng., "nosology"), is the regular word for "disease, sickness," Matthew 4:23; 8:17; 9:35; 10:1 , RV, "disease," AV, "sickness;" in Matthew 4:24; Mark 1:34; Luke 4:40; 6:17; 9:1; Acts 19:12 , AV and RV render it "diseases." In Luke 7:21 , AV has "infirmities." The most authentic mss. omit the word in Mark 3:15 . See SICKNESS.
an alternative form of No. 3, is found in some mss. in John 5:4 . Cp. noseo, "to dote about, have a diseased craving for," 1—Timothy 6:4 .
akin to A, No. 1, "to lack strength, to be weak, sick," is translated "were diseased" in John 6:2 , AV (RV, "were sick"). See IMPOTENT , SICK , WEAK.
