It implies a deeper level of understanding or insight, beyond mere physical sight. This term is often used in contexts where spiritual or moral discernment is required, suggesting an ability to see beyond the surface to grasp the true nature of a situation or truth.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, vision and perception were often associated with knowledge and understanding. The ability to see clearly was metaphorically linked to wisdom and insight. In the context of the New Testament, this concept is enriched by the Jewish understanding of spiritual discernment, where seeing is not just a physical act but also a spiritual one, involving the heart and mind.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2529</b> <i>kathoráō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">2596</a> <i>/katá</i>, "down," which intensifies <a href="/greek/3708.htm">3708</a> <i>/horáō</i>, "to look") – properly, look <i>down</i> (from a higher vantage point), i.e. see <i>clearly</i>, <i>with perception</i> (used only in Ro 1:20). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/3708.htm">horaó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to discern clearly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>clearly seen (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2529: καθοράω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καθοράω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καθόρω</span>: <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to look down, see from above, view from on high</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> "to see thoroughly (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">κατά</span></span>, III. 1 at the end), perceive clearly, understand" (German <span class="foreign">erschauen</span>): present passive 3 person singular <span class="greek2">καθορᾶται</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/1-20.htm">Romans 1:20</a> (3Macc. 3:11, and often in classical Greek).
