Horao is the foundational Greek verb of sight, and in the New Testament it carries far more weight than simple visual perception. Its aorist participle idon ('having seen') drives narrative after narrative — the magi 'saw' the star (Matt 2:10), Jesus 'saw' the crowds (Matt 5:1), and Thomas finally 'saw' the risen Lord (John 20:29). But perhaps its most distinctive New Testament contribution is the exclamatory form idou ('behold!'), which appears over 250 times as a dramatic spotlight, calling the reader's attention to angelic announcements, prophetic visions, and divine interventions. The passive ōphthe ('he appeared') becomes the standard vocabulary for resurrection and theophany — Christ 'appeared' to Peter, to the twelve, to five hundred (1 Cor 15:5-8). The multilingual evidence is revealing: Spanish splits between ver ('see'), he aqui ('behold'), and aparecer ('appear'), while Korean distinguishes 보다 (visual seeing), 보라 (exclamatory), and 나타나다 (appearing), confirming these as genuinely distinct senses rather than contextual shadings.
