In the New Testament, it is used to describe a meticulous or scrutinizing observation, often with a critical or skeptical intent.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, observation was a critical part of daily life, whether in scientific inquiry, philosophical debate, or religious practice. The concept of careful observation was also significant in Jewish culture, particularly in the context of religious observance and the interpretation of the Law. The Pharisees, for example, were known for their meticulous attention to the Law and traditions, often scrutinizing Jesus' actions and teachings.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3907</b> <i>paratḗrēsis</i> – close, diligent watching as to <i>guard over</i> (control). <a href="/greek/3907.htm">3907</a> <i>/paratḗrēsis</i> ("watching like a guard") is only used in Lk 17:20.</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/3906.htm">paratéreó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>observation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>signs to be observed (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 3907: παρατήρησις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">παρατήρησις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">παρατηρήσεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">παρατηρέω</span>), <span class="accented">observation</span> ((<span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 16, 22, 8), <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Antoninus</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, others): <span class="greek2">μετά</span> <span class="greek2">παρατηρήσεως</span>, in such a manner that it can be watched with the eyes, i. e. in a visible manner, <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-20.htm">Luke 17:20</a>.<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>observation. <p>From <a href="/greek/3906.htm">paratereo</a>;
