V-AMA-2P | 33× in 1 sense

show, display, reveal — to cause someone to see, whether by pointing out a physical object or disclosing a truth

Deiknymi is the standard Greek verb for making something visible or known, appearing 33 times across the Gospels, Acts, and Revelation. Its semantic range stretches from the concrete to the revelatory. Satan takes Jesus to a high place and 'shows' him all the kingdoms of the world (Matt 4:8), while Jesus tells healed lepers to 'show' themselves to the priest (Matt 8:4; Mark 1:44). In John's Gospel, Jesus promises to 'show' his disciples greater works (John 5:20), and the Father 'shows' the Son all that he does (John 5:20). The word reaches its climax in Revelation, where an angel repeatedly 'shows' John visions of cosmic judgment and the new Jerusalem (Rev 1:1; 4:1; 17:1; 21:10; 22:1). Spanish 'mostrar,' French 'montrer,' and German 'zeigen' all converge on a single show/display sense.
