ὁμοι-άζω G3662
To be like or similar to something; to resemble or have similarity with another
This verb means to be like, resemble, or have similarity to something else. In Mark 14:70, bystanders challenge Peter during Jesus' trial: 'Surely you are one of them, for you are a Galilean, and your speech is similar.' The verb indicates that Peter's accent or dialect matched that of Galileans, betraying his regional origin despite his denials. The word can also mean 'to compare' in other contexts, but here it's about resemblance or likeness that reveals identity.
Senses
1. sense 1 — To be similar to or resemble something, particularly in manner or characteristic. Mark 14:70 uses this to describe Peter's speech: 'your speech is similar' (or 'matches,' 'agrees'). His Galilean accent betrayed his connection to Jesus despite denials. The verb captures how resemblance—even in something as subtle as dialect—can reveal identity and association, making concealment impossible. 1×
