Strong's Lexicon parachréma: Immediately, at once, straightway Original Word: παραχρῆμα Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "παρά" (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and the noun "χρῆμα" (chrēma, meaning "thing" or "matter"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for παραχρῆμα, the concept of immediacy can be found in Hebrew words like מִיָּד (miyad, Strong's H3027), which means "immediately" or "at once." Usage: The adverb παραχρῆμα (parachréma) is used in the New Testament to denote an action or event that occurs instantly or without delay. It emphasizes the immediacy and urgency of the action, often highlighting the power and authority of Jesus' miracles or the swift response to divine intervention. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of immediacy was significant in various contexts, including legal, medical, and social situations. The use of παραχρῆμα in the New Testament reflects the cultural understanding of promptness and the expectation of immediate results, especially in the context of miraculous events. This term underscores the authority and divine power of Jesus, as His words and actions often resulted in instantaneous changes.
