Meaning: To be gloomy, to have a somber or sullen appearance, to be downcast. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root στυγνός (stugnos), meaning "gloomy" or "sullen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for στυγνάζω, similar concepts of gloominess or sadness can be found in Hebrew words such as עָצַב (atsab, Strong's H6087), meaning "to be grieved" or "to be sorrowful," and קָדַר (qadar, Strong's H6937), meaning "to be dark" or "to mourn." These terms reflect the emotional states that can accompany spiritual or moral realizations, akin to the New Testament usage of στυγνάζω. Usage: The verb στυγνάζω is used in the New Testament to describe a change in facial expression to one of gloom or sadness, often in response to a challenging or convicting truth. Context: The Greek verb στυγνάζω appears in the New Testament in the context of a person's reaction to a difficult or convicting message. It is used to describe a visible change in demeanor, often reflecting an internal struggle or realization. The term conveys a sense of gloominess or somberness that is evident in one's facial expression. In the Berean Standard Bible, στυγνάζω is found in Mark 10:22, where it describes the reaction of the rich young ruler after Jesus tells him to sell all he has and give to the poor: "But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth." Here, the word captures the young man's internal conflict and disappointment upon realizing the cost of discipleship. The use of στυγνάζω highlights the emotional and spiritual weight of Jesus' teachings, illustrating how the truth can confront individuals with difficult choices that challenge their priorities and attachments. This term underscores the transformative power of the Gospel, which calls for a response that may lead to a visible change in one's countenance as they grapple with its implications.
