    In Mark 5:23, the adverb occurs in the father's plea concerning his little daughter before he asks that hands be laid on her so that she may be saved and live. The APB renders the clause, "My little daughter is extremely ill," presenting an extreme condition in the verse's request for help.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Mark 5:23, the APB presents the daughter's condition as "extremely ill." This reflects the clause's presentation rather than a precise lexical equation.
