Miracle:
"power, inherent ability," is used of works of a supernatural origin and character, such as could not be produced by natural agents and means. It is translated "miracles" in the RV and AV in Act 8:13 (where variant readings give the words in different order); 19:11; 1Cr 12:10, 28, 29; Gal 3:5; AV only, in Act 2:22 (RV, "mighty works"); Hbr 2:4 (RV, "powers"). In Gal 3:5, the word may be taken in its widest sense, to include "miracles" both physical and moral.
See MIGHT, A, No. 1, POWER, WORK.
2 | Strong's Number: g4592 | Greek: semeion |
Miracle:
"a sign, mark, token" (akin to semaino, "to give a sign;" sema, "a sign"), is used of "miracles" and wonders as signs of Divine authority; it is translated "miracles" in the RV and AV of Luk 23:8; Act 4:16, 22; most usually it is given its more appropriate meaning "sign," "signs," e.g., Mat 12:38, 39, and in every occurrence in the Synoptists, except Luk 23:8; in the following passages in John's Gospel the RV substitutes "sign" or "signs" for the AV, "miracle or miracles;" Jhn 2:11, 23; 3:2; 4:54; 6:2, 14, 26; 7:31; 9:16; 10:41; 11:47; 12:18, 37; the AV also has "signs" elsewhere in this Gospel; in Acts, RV, "signs," AV, "miracles," in Act 6:8; 8:6; 15:12; elsewhere only in Rev 13:14; 16:14; 19:20.
See SIGN, TOKEN, WONDER.
