It often conveys a sense of careful observation or consideration, sometimes with an emotional undertone such as anger, compassion, or concern.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, sight and observation were important aspects of understanding and interacting with one's environment. The act of looking around could imply a search for understanding or a moment of reflection. In the context of the New Testament, "periblepó" is often used to describe Jesus' actions, highlighting His awareness and intentionality in His interactions with people.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4017</b> <i>periblépō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4012.htm">4012</a> <i>/perí</i>, "all-around" and <a href="/greek/991.htm">991</a> <i>/blépō</i>, "look at, gaze on") – properly, gaze all-around; <i>closely observe</i> with a <i>sweeping </i>(<i>encompassing</i>) look and with high personal involvement (self-interest).</p><p class="discovery">[This explains why <a href="/greek/4017.htm">4017</a> (<i>periblépō</i>) is always in the Greek <i>middle</i> voice which accents the <i>personal concern</i> – like the movement of the eyes expressed with the looking (<i>R</i>, 813).]</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/4012.htm">peri</a> and <a href="/greek/991.htm">blepó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to look around<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>looked around (2), looking about (1), looking around (4).<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 4017: περιβλέπω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περιβλέπω</span></span>: imperfect middle 3 person singular <span class="greek2">περιεβλέπετο</span>; 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">περιβλεψάμενος</span>; <span class="accented">to look around</span>.
