        DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to have well) the state of being healthy, well (in contrast with sickness)

        Glosses: ['to be well', 'to be healthy']

        Comments: In a number of languages health is expressed only in terms of strength, for ‘to be well’ is ‘to be strong.’ In other languages, however, to be well or to be healthy is a negation of illness or sickness, so that in {S:04101601800042} one may translate ‘they will place their hands on those who are sick and these people will become not sick.’

      LEXReferences: MARK 16:18
