Strong's Lexicon aganakteó: To be indignant, to be greatly displeased, to be grieved Original Word: ἀγανακτέω Word Origin: From the Greek root ἄγαν (agan), meaning "much" or "very," combined with ἄχθος (achthos), meaning "grief" or "burden." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar expressions of indignation is זָעַם (za'am), which means to be angry or indignant. Usage: The verb ἀγανακτέω is used in the New Testament to express a strong emotional response of indignation or displeasure. It often conveys a sense of righteous anger or deep concern over an injustice or inappropriate action. This term is typically used to describe the reaction of individuals who witness actions or situations that are perceived as morally or ethically wrong. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of indignation were common in both public and private life, often related to issues of honor, justice, and social norms. The concept of righteous indignation was understood as a legitimate response to perceived wrongs, and it was often seen as a catalyst for corrective action. In the Jewish context, indignation could be associated with zeal for God's law and righteousness.
