2 | greek meaning of the word sorceries? | NT general Archive 1 | EdB | 105277 | ||
The word sorceries occurs three times in the New Testament. Acts 8:11 And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. Rev. 9:21 And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts. Rev. 18:23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. In Acts 8:11 the word translated sorceries is the greek word "Mageia" which means 'magic' and from which we get the word magic. In Rev 9:21 and in KJV in Rev 18:23 the Greek word "pharmakeia" is translated sorceries and means medication (“pharmacy”), i.e. (by extension) magic (literal or figurative) This word is also translated sorcery or witchcraft.
