This term is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament to denote age, wisdom, and authority.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb γηράσκω is used to describe the process of aging or growing old. It conveys the natural progression of life as one advances in years. In the biblical context, it often carries the connotation of wisdom and experience that comes with age, as well as the physical decline associated with growing older.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, aging was often associated with wisdom and respect. Elders were typically revered for their life experience and knowledge. In the biblical context, the process of aging is seen as part of God's design for human life, with the elderly often holding positions of honor and authority within the community. The concept of aging is also tied to the transient nature of human life, reminding believers of their mortality and the eternal nature of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1094.htm">géras</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to grow old<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>grow old (1), growing old (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 1095: γηράσκω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">γηράσκω</span></span> or <span class="greek2">γηράω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐγήρασα</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 92 (88); Donaldson, New Crat. § 387); <span class="accented">to grow old</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/21-18.htm">John 21:18</a>; of things, institutions, etc., <span class="accented">to fail from age, be obsolescent</span>: <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/8-13.htm">Hebrews 8:13</a> (to be deprived of force and authority; (here associated with <span class="greek2">παλαιουμενος</span> — the latter (used only of things) marking the lapse of time, while <span class="greek2">γηρασκων</span> carries with it a suggestion of the waning strength, the decay, incident to old age (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Schmidt</span>, chapter 46, 7; <span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, caus. pl. 6, 7, 5): <span class="accented">that which is becoming old and faileth for age</span> etc.)).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>become old. <p>From <a href="/greek/1094.htm">geras</a>; to be senescent -- be (wax) old. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1094.htm">geras</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>γεγήρακα γεγήρακας γεγήρακέ γηράσαι γηράσει γηράση γηρασης γηράσης γηράσῃς γηρασκον γηράσκον γίγαντα γίγαντας γίγαντες γίγαντος γιγάντων γιγάρτου γίγας εγήρασα εγήρασε εγήρασεν geráseis gērásēis gerases gērasēs geraskon geráskon gēraskon gēráskon<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/john/21-18.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">John 21:18</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb - Aorist Subjunctive Active - 2nd Person Singular">V-ASA-2S</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/john/21.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">ὅταν δὲ <b>γηράσῃς</b> ἐκτενεῖς τὰς</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/john/21.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> but when <span class="itali">you grow old,</span> you will stretch<br><a href="/kjvs/john/21.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> when <span class="itali">thou shalt be old,</span> thou shalt stretch forth<br><a href="/interlinear/john/21-18.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> when however <span class="itali">you shall be old</span> you will stretch forth the<p><b><a href="/text/hebrews/8-13.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Hebrews 8:13</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb - Present Participle Active - Nominative Neuter Singular">V-PPA-NNS</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/hebrews/8.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">παλαιούμενον καὶ <b>γηράσκον</b> ἐγγὺς ἀφανισμοῦ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/hebrews/8.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> obsolete.
