primarily, “firm persuasion,” a conviction based upon hearing (akin to peitho, “to persuade”), is used in the NT always of “faith in God or Christ, or things spiritual.”
Hearing: DEF:G189 ἀκοήakoe (ak-o-ay’) n.
1. hearing
{the act, the sense or the thing heard}
[from G191]
KJV: audience, ear, fame, which ye heard, hearing, preached, report, rumor
Root(s): G191
NT Vines:
the usual word denoting “to hear,” is used (a) intransitively, e.g., Mat 11:15; Mar 4:23; (b) transitively when the object is expressed, sometimes in the accusative case, sometimes in the genitive. Thus in Act 9:7, “hearing the voice,” the noun “voice” is in the partitive genitive case [i.e., hearing (something) of], whereas in Act 22:9, “they heard not the voice,” the construction is with the accusative. This removes the idea of any contradiction. The former indicates a “hearing” of the sound, the latter indicates the meaning or message of the voice (this they did not hear). “The former denotes the sensational perception, the latter (the accusative case) the thing perceived” (Cremer). In Joh 5:25, Joh 5:28, the genitive case is used, indicating a “sensational perception” that the Lord’s voice is sounding; in Joh 3:8, of “hearing” the wind, the accusative is used, stressing “the thing perceived.”
That God “hears” prayer signifies that He answers prayer, e.g., Joh 9:31; 1Jo 5:14-15. Sometimes the verb is used with para (“from beside”), e.g., Joh 1:40, “one of the two which heard John speak,” lit., “heard from beside John,” suggesting that he stood beside him; in Joh 8:26, Joh 8:40, indicating the intimate fellowship of the Son with the Father; the same construction is used in Act 10:22; 2Ti 2:2, in the latter case, of the intimacy between Paul and Timothy.
