DefinitionShort: to render assistance or help by performing certain duties, often of a humble or menial nature
Glosses: ['to serve', 'to render service', 'to help', 'service', 'help']
Comments: In some languages it is essential in communicating the concept of ‘service’ to introduce a specific reference to ‘a servant,’ for example, ‘to help as a servant’ or ‘to assist as one who must,’ and in some contexts it may be useful to employ a phrase such as ‘to help in small things’ or ‘to do the low tasks.’|In rendering {S:04002002800020} it may be necessary to be somewhat more specific about those who serve or are served, for example, ‘the Son of Man did not come in order for people to serve him but in order to serve people.’

DefinitionShort: to serve God in some special way, such as a deacon
Glosses: ['to be a deacon', 'to minister to']
Comments: It seems quite evident that διακονέω[d] involved a number of different functions as persons served others, especially in connection with relief to the poor. In some instances it may be best to translate διακονέω[d] as ‘to have responsibility to help others’ or ‘to be responsible to take care of the needs of believers.’

DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to serve tables) to be responsible for financial aspects of an enterprise
Glosses: to handle finances
Comments: It is also possible to interpret the phrase διακονέω τραπέζαις not as an idiom but simply as ‘to wait on tables, to serve meals’ (see {D:23.26} and {D:46.13}), but even so the context relates to caring for needs.
