Dictionary information
Agony
contest; wrestling; severe struggling with pain and suffering. Anguish is the reflection on evil that is already past, while agony is a struggle with evil at the time present. It is only used in the New Testament by Luke (Luke 22:44 ) to describe our Lord's fearful struggle in Gethsemane.
The verb from which the noun "agony" is derived is used to denote an earnest endeavour or striving, as "Strive [agonize] to enter" (Luke 13:24 ); "Then would my servants fight" [agonize] (John 18:36 ). Comp. (1Cor 9:25 ; Col 1:29 ; 4:12; 1Tim 6:12 ; 2Tim 4:7 ), where the words "striveth," "labour," "conflict," "fight," are the renderings of the same Greek verb.
