Summary

artyo is rendered "to arrange, make ready (Hom.).; Of food (as in comic writers)". It stands 3 times in the Greek text, across three books.

  • One of the uses stand in Mark, more than in any other book.
  • The lexicon lists two meanings for it, beginning with "to arrange, make ready (Hom.).".
  • Its first use in canonical order opens the ledger below.Mark 9:50Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
  • The Greek text spells it three different ways.

The first use

Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

Mark 9:50ἀρτύσετε

The first use, in the order of the New Testament's books.

Where the word stands

The other 24 New Testament books never use the word.

What the word means

How the numbers are counted

Every count on this page comes from STEP Bible's tagged Hebrew and Greek text, the same text the ledger prints. A use is counted once each time the tagging marks a word with this key.

Spellings are counted as the Greek text spells them, with the sentence's own punctuation taken off the word first, so a form that ends a clause is not counted as a second spelling.
