Strong's Lexicon epitimaó: To rebuke, to charge, to admonish Original Word: ἐπιτιμάω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and τιμάω (timao, meaning "to honor" or "to value") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of rebuke is יָכַח (yakach, Strong's H3198), which means to reprove, correct, or argue. Usage: The verb "epitimaó" is used in the New Testament to denote a strong expression of disapproval or correction. It often implies a sense of authority and urgency, where the speaker seeks to correct or restrain behavior or speech. This term is frequently used in the context of Jesus' ministry, where He rebukes demons, natural elements, or even His disciples. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, rebuking was a common practice among teachers, leaders, and those in authority to correct or guide others. The use of "epitimaó" in the New Testament reflects the authoritative role of Jesus as a teacher and the Son of God, who has the power to command and correct both spiritual and natural realms. The concept of rebuke was also present in Jewish culture, where it was seen as a necessary part of maintaining community and religious order.
