The Greek word anamimnesko

Found six times in the New Testament (Mk.11:21; 14:72; 1 Cor. 4:17; 2 Cor. 7:15; 2 Tim. 1:6; Heb. 10:32), the Greek verb “anamimnesko” meant “call to bring mind” or “bring to remembrance.”

Peter “remembered” the curse Jesus had placed on a fig tree (Mk. 11:21).  He also “remembered” how Jesus said he would deny Him (Mk. 14:72).  Timothy was to help the Corinthians “remember” the right way to serve and follow God (1 Cor. 4:17).  Titus “remembered” some things (2 Cor. 7:15).  Timothy was to “remember” to stir up his gift (2 Tim. 1:6).  The Christians described in Heb. 10:32 were told to “remember” their “former days.”
