ἐπετίμων

epitimáō

rebuked

To express strong disapproval or to censure; to speak critically towards someone or something in order to correct or warn them. In various contexts, ἐπιτιμάω can mean to rebuke, admonish, warn, or reproach, often with the intent of corrective discipline, not merely shaming. In certain uses (especially in the New Testament), it can also mean to issue a directive or command of prohibition—sometimes with authority over illness, spirits, or nature.
