Anaginōskō translates in English “to read”. It is in the Strong’s under G314 where you find it means to read, decern, or gather knowledge. Yes, there are several forms and tenses of this compound word in Greek, good luck with all of those. This study started with Luke 10:26 – He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? (KJV) It then led me to a very loose look at reading and gathering knowledge. (Thank you, Bible Gateway, and Mounce.) In Hebrew qara means to read.

I will flip back a few pages in the Bible to see how the written word and the transmission of its knowledge would take place.

1. Exodus 24:7 – Moses wrote down the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people.
2. Deuteronomy 17:19 – When a king started to rule, he was to write a copy of the Law and read it so he would fear the Lord and keep the commandments. We never read of one king doing that.
3. Deuteronomy 31:11 – When Israel came together (At the Feast?) the Law was to be read to them. Nehemiah made this happen.   

Our God who loves righteousness and wants people to choose to follow Him needs people to be able to write, read, and hear His love Letter to them. That means two things:1. We have to read, hear, and study His word to know Him better. 2. The people who translate His word for us better do a faithful job. Isaiah 29:11-13 speak to this, if you cannot read or do not read His word, we will have man-made rules that do not honor the Father.

Jesus as our Master Teacher asks six times in the Book of Matthew, “Have you not read”. I see the meaning of Anaginōskō here as “Have you not gathered understanding by reading”. Those references are 12:3, 12:5, 19:4, 21:16, 21:42, and 22:31. In His Sermons from the Two Mounts He requires the learner/reader to decern the ‘abomination of desolation’ spoken by the prophet Daniel in verse 24:15.

On your own. Anaginōskō or Strong’s G314 is used 32 times in the New Testament. Find and read the other times it is used and see what information and understanding you can gather.
