It often conveys the idea of something coming to a halt or becoming still, particularly in the context of natural phenomena or tumultuous events.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, the calming of storms or the cessation of tumultuous events was often seen as an act of divine intervention. The use of "kopazó" in the New Testament reflects this understanding, highlighting the authority and power of Jesus over nature and chaos. The calming of storms was a significant demonstration of divine power, resonating with the cultural belief in the gods' control over the natural world.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2873.htm">kopos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to grow weary<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>died down (1), stopped (2).<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 2869: κοπάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κοπάζω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐκόπασα</span>; (<span class="greek2">κόπος</span>); properly, <span class="accented">to grow weary or tired</span>; hence <span class="accented">to cease from violence, cease</span> raging: <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἄνεμος</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 7, 191), <a href="/interlinear/matthew/14-32.htm">Matthew 14:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-51.htm">Mark 6:51</a>.
