diasozo in the Active Voice, "to bring safely through a danger" (dia, "through," intensive, sozo, "to save"), to make completely whole, to heal, Luke_7:3; to bring "safe," Acts_23:24; "to save," Acts_27:43; in the Passive Voice, Matt_14:36, "were made whole;" 1_Pet_3:20. It is also used in the Passive Voice, signifying "to escape," said of shipwrecked mariners, Acts_27:44; Acts_28:1,4. See HEAL, SAFE, SAVE.

Note: Exerchomai, "to come or go out of a place," is rendered, "He escape," in John_10:39, AV, an unsuitable translation, both in meaning and in regard to the circumstances of the Lord's departure from His would-be captors. The RV "went forth" is both accurate and appropriate to the dignity of the Lord's actions.
