It is one of the strongest words in Greek for the feeling of compassion.</p> <p id="p47" data-pid="47" class="s5"><strong>skinned:</strong> The Greek word originally meant “flayed,” or “stripped of the skin,” conveying an image of sheep with their skin ripped apart by wild animals or torn as they wandered among brambles and sharp rocks. The term came to be used figuratively, meaning “maltreated, harassed, wounded.”</p> <p id="p48" data-pid="48" class="s5"><strong>thrown about:</strong> The image here is of sheep being thrown down,
