There are instances in the GNT where derivatives such as θεράπων [QERAPWN] and θεραπεία [QERAPEIA] are used with meanings that are obviously different from "heal", "cure". See these passages:
Heb 3:5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant (θεράπων), for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after (KJV)
Lk 12:42 The Lord answered, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants (θεραπείας, perhaps, "the body of servants) to give them their food allowance at the proper time? (NIV)

Subject: [B-Greek] Question about Acts 17:25
I am just studying Greek on my own and ran into a question I can't figure
out when studying Acts 17:25 where the word therapeuo is translated as
"worshiped" - I noticed that EVERY other place in the N.T. it is translated
as "healing", "healed", "heal", "cure", "cured" except for this one place -
Why is this? What is the meaning of this translation in this passage? Thank
You - Chad
