Ademoneo describes being in a state of distress, whether amid grief and trouble or over others' concern.

The attested verses show distress in two settings: in Mark 14:33 and Matthew 26:37, it occurs as part of the beginning of grief and trouble; in Philippians 2:26, it accompanies longing for others after they heard of an illness.

    In Mark 14:33, the present active infinitive occurs where he began to experience the state that the APB renders as being “greatly distressed and troubled.” In Matthew 26:37, the same infinitive appears as he began to grieve and to be distressed.

  2. Distress connected with concern for others · rare
