The third example is when a person cries out for help and assistance, or as a warning. During Christ’s ministry it was common for the sick to hear that Christ was near them and suddenly cry out with a loud voice to seize His attention, drawing attention to their affliction (Mark 9:24–27). In English when we say to “cry out,” we picture a person yelling at the top of their lungs with a very loud voice. It is interesting to see in the New Testament the different Greek words translated as “cried” and how each has a unique emphasis. • At times when men cried out to be healed, the word is krazo, which means, “to croak, scream, shriek or to call out loud.” This was done to get Christ’s attention. 7 • At the cross Christ cried out, and this word is anaboao , referring to, “a shout for help in a troublesome situation” (Matt. 27:46). 8 • Another time on the cross when Christ cried out, phoneo is used, which is, “to cry aloud, to call, to send for, summon” (Luke 23:46). 9
