Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "περί" (peri), meaning "around" or "about," and the adjective "λυπός" (lypos), meaning "grieved" or "sorrowful."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "περίλυπος," similar expressions of deep sorrow or distress can be found in Hebrew words such as "יָגוֹן" (yagon, Strong's Hebrew 3015) meaning "grief" or "sorrow," and "תּוּגָה" (tugah, Strong's Hebrew 8424) meaning "grief" or "mourning." These terms capture the essence of profound emotional pain and are used in the Old Testament to describe similar states of distress.

Usage: The word "περίλυπος" is used in the New Testament to express profound emotional distress or sorrow. It is often associated with moments of intense personal anguish or grief.

Context: The Greek term "περίλυπος" appears in the New Testament to convey a deep, overwhelming sense of sorrow or distress. This word is notably used in the context of Jesus' own experiences of profound emotional turmoil. In Mark 14:34, Jesus says to His disciples, "My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch." Here, "περίλυπος" captures the depth of Jesus' anguish as He anticipates His impending crucifixion. Similarly, in Matthew 26:38, the same expression is used to describe Jesus' state of mind in the Garden of Gethsemane, highlighting the intense emotional burden He bore.

The use of "περίλυπος" underscores the humanity of Jesus, illustrating that He experienced genuine human emotions, including deep sorrow. This term also appears in Mark 6:26, where Herod is described as "deeply distressed" upon realizing the implications of his promise to Herodias' daughter, reflecting the moral and emotional conflict he faced.

In these contexts, "περίλυπος" serves to emphasize the gravity of the situations and the profound emotional responses they elicited. It is a term that conveys not just sadness, but a sorrow that is all-encompassing and deeply felt.
