The Bible says twice that Jesus groaned in his spirit. This was no ordinary sigh. The Greek word used here means “to bellow with rage.”6 It is a word that is so strong it is normally used to describe the angry snorting of an agitated horse. Have you ever seen a horse that is ticked off? Ears back, one hind leg up on tiptoe, ready to kick the teeth out of the first person stupid enough to walk through the impact zone. And there’s the telltale throaty, slow whinny escaping its teeth. You wanna give a wide berth to an animal like that.
