Senses in use

  1. Bodily afflictions addressed in healing · dominant

    Across the attested clauses, the noun names conditions brought for healing or healed from. In Luke 4:40 the APB renders people with various conditions being brought and healed; in Luke 6:18 it renders people being healed of them; and in Matthew 4:23 it places the singular form in the repeated statement that every such condition is healed among the people. Matthew 8:17 instead places the plural form in the statement that these conditions are carried.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the term with “illnesses” or “diseases” in healing and suffering clauses, while Matthew 8:17 says that such conditions are “carried.” These English expressions describe the verse-level presentation rather than fixed individual renderings.
