"Jesus Gives Aid to Those Tested by Adversity"

The Greek word for aid in Hebrews 2:18 is boēthéō, from boē, meaning a cry or exclamation, and théō, meaning to run. This word literally means to run at a cry. Jesus hears the cries of the sufferer and compassionately runs alongside to uphold, assist, and help. The opposite of boēthéō is to frustrate or hinder. Jesus will never add hindrance or frustration to our suffering.
