σπλαγχνίζομαι

(σπλάγχνον), [in LXX (act. -ίζω): Pro.17:5 A, 2Ma.6:8 (= -εύω) * ;]

to be moved as to the σπλάγχνα (which see), hence, to feel pity or compassion: absol. Luk.10:33 15:20; ptcp. σπλαγχνισθείς, with indic. Mat.18:27 20:34, Mrk.1:41; before ἐπί, with dative of person(s), Mat.14:14, Luk.7:13; ἐπί, with accusative, Mat.15:32, Mrk.6:34 8:2 9:22; ωερί, Mat.9:36. (The word is elsewhere found only in Sm: 1Ki.23:21, Eze.24:21, Test. Zeb. 4:6-7; see Thayer, see word; MM, xxiii quote Thumb, Hellen. 123 as practically confirming Lft. on Php.1:8, in the suggestion that the verb was a coinage of the Jewish dispersion.) †
