Used by Luke only. Tormented is too strong. The word is used of the sorrow of Joseph and Mary when the child Jesus was missing (Luke 2:48); and of the grief of the Ephesian elders on parting with Paul (Acts 20:38) Rev., I am in anguish. [source]
Only here in New Testament. Common in medical language. See on Luke 21:26. Compare the exquisite passage in Dante, where Messer Adamo, the false coiner, horribly mutilated, and in the lowest circle of Malebolge, says:“I had, while living, much of what I wished;And now, alas! a drop of water crave. The rivulets that from the verdant hills-DIVIDER- Of Cassentin descend down into Arno,-DIVIDER- Making their channels to be soft and cold, Ever before me stand, and not in vain:-DIVIDER- For far more doth their image dry me up-DIVIDER- Than the disease which strips my face of flesh.”Inferno, xxx., 65 sq.

Only here in New Testament. The word originally means to leave off breathing; to swoon. Thus Homer, when Laertes recognizes Ulysses:“He threwRound his dear son his arms. The hardy chief, Ulysses, drew him fainting ( ἀποψύχοντα ) to his heart.”Odyssey, xxiv., 846.So also Sophocles, of Hector dragged behind Achilles' chariot:“He breathed out his life ( ἀπέψυξεν βίον ).Ajax, 1031.Matthew alone uses the simple verb, ψύχω , to breathe or blow. See on wax cold, Matthew 24:12. Luke uses four compounds of this simple verb, all of which are peculiar to him.

“With reference to” “Spirits” the word also means. The meaning (note article with αγγελους aggelous not with πνευματα pneumata) apparently is one that can reduce angels to the elemental forces of wind and fire (Moffatt). A flame of fire Predicate accusative of πλοχ phlox old word, in N.T. only here and Luke 16:24. Lunemann holds that the Hebrew here is wrongly rendered and means that God makes the wind his messengers (not angels) and flaming fire his servants. That is all true, but that is not the point of this passage. Preachers also are sometimes like a wind-storm or a fire. [source]
