NT.filter - rwp terrified:

rwp@Acts:7:31 @{The sight} (\to horama\). Used of visions in the N.T. as in strkjv@Matthew:17:9|. {As he drew near} (\proserchomenou autou\). Genitive absolute with present middle participle of \proserchomai\. {A voice of the Lord} (\phn kuriou\). Here the angel of Jehovah of verse 30| is termed Jehovah himself. Jesus makes powerful use of these words in his reply to the Sadducees in defence of the doctrine of the resurrection and the future life (Mark:12:26; strkjv@Matthew:22:32; strkjv@Luke:20:37f.|) that God here describes himself as the God of the living. {Trembled} (\entromos genomenos\). Literally, becoming tremulous or terrified. The adjective \entromos\ (\en, tromos\ from \trem\, to tremble, to quake) occurs in Plutarch and the LXX. In the N.T. only here and strkjv@Acts:16:29|. {Durst not} (\ouk etolma\). Imperfect active, was not daring, negative conative imperfect.

rwp@Acts:16:29 @{Trembling for fear} (\entromos genomenos\). "Becoming terrified." The adjective \entromos\ (in terror) occurs in N.T. only here and strkjv@7:32; strkjv@Hebrews:12:21|. {Fell down} (\prosepesen\). Second aorist active indicative of \prospipt\, old verb. An act of worship as Cornelius before Peter (10:25|), when \prosekunsen\ is used.

rwp@Hebrews:12:21 @{Fearful} (\phoberon\). As in strkjv@10:27,31|, only in Heb. in N.T. {The appearance} (\to phantazomenon\). Present passive articular participle of \phantaz\, old verb from \phain\, to make visible, here only in N.T. "The manifestation." {I exceedingly fear and quake} (\ekphobos eimi kai entromos\). "I am terrified (\ekphobos\, late compound like \ekphobe\, to frighten, strkjv@Mark:9:6|) and trembling" (\entromos\, late compound like \entrem\, to tremble at, as in strkjv@Acts:7:32; strkjv@16:29|). \Ekphobos\ is quoted from strkjv@Deuteronomy:9:19|.

rwp@Luke:21:9 @{Be not terrified} (\m ptothte\). First aorist passive subjunctive with \m\ from \ptoe\ an old verb to terrify, from \ptoa\, terror. In the N.T. only here and strkjv@Luke:24:37|. {First} (\Prton\). It is so easy to forget this and to insist that the end is "immediately" in spite of Christ's explicit denial here. See strkjv@Matthew:24:4-42; strkjv@Mark:13:1-37| for discussion of details for strkjv@Luke:21:8-36|, the great eschatological discourse of Jesus

rwp@Matthew:14:26 @{They were troubled} (\etarachthsan\). Much stronger than that. They were literally "terrified" as they saw Jesus walking on the sea. {An apparition} (\phantasma\), or "ghost," or "spectre" from \phantaz\ and that from \phain\. They cried out "from fear" (\apo tou phobou\) as any one would have done. "A little touch of sailor superstition" (Bruce).

rwp@Matthew:24:6 @{See that ye be not troubled} (\horate m throeisthe\). Asyndeton here with these two imperatives as strkjv@Mark:8:15| \orate blepete\ (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 949). Look out for the wars and rumours of wars, but do not be scared out of your wits by them. \Throe\ means to cry aloud, to scream, and in the passive to be terrified by an outcry. Paul uses this very verb (\mde throeisthai\) in strkjv@2Thessalonians:2:2| as a warning against excitement over false reports that he had predicted the immediate second coming of Christ. {But the end is not yet} (\all' oup estin to telos\). It is curious how people overlook these words of Jesus and proceed to set dates for the immediate end. That happened during the Great War and it has happened since.

rwp@Matthew:26:37 @{He took with him} (\paralabn\). Taking along, by his side (\para-\), as a mark of special favour and privilege, instead of leaving this inner circle of three (Peter, James, and John) with the other eight. The eight would serve as a sort of outer guard to watch by the gate of the garden for the coming of Judas while the three would be able to share the agony of soul already upon Jesus so as at least to give him some human sympathy which he craved as he sought help from the Father in prayer. These three had been with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration and now they are with him in this supreme crisis. The grief of Christ was now severe. The word for {sore troubled} (\admonein\) is of doubtful etymology. There is an adjective \admos\ equal to \apodmos\ meaning "not at home," "away from home," like the German _unheimisch, unheimlich_. But whatever the etymology, the notion of intense discomfort is plain. The word \admonein\ occurs in P.Oxy. II, 298,456 of the first century A.D. where it means "excessively concerned." See strkjv@Phillipians:2:26| where Paul uses it of Epaphroditus. Moffatt renders it here "agitated." The word occurs sometimes with \apore\ to be at a loss as to which way to go. The _Braid Scots_ has it "sair putten-aboot." Here Matthew has also "to be sorrowful" (\lupeisthai\), but Mark (Mark:14:33|) has the startling phrase {greatly amazed and sore troubled} (\ekthambeisthai kai admonein\), a "feeling of terrified surprise."
