It conveys a sense of sadness, displeasure, or dejection. In the New Testament, it is used to depict a person's outward expression that reflects an inner state of distress or dissatisfaction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, facial expressions were often seen as windows to the soul, revealing a person's inner emotions and thoughts. A σκυθρωπός expression would have been understood as a visible sign of inner turmoil or unhappiness. In Jewish culture, expressions of the face were also significant, often associated with one's spiritual and emotional state. The concept of a "downcast" face is frequently mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures, indicating sorrow or repentance.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4659</b> <i>skythrōpós</i> (from <i>skythros</i>, "gloomy" and <i>ops</i>, "countenance") – properly, grim-faced, looking sad, dejected (downcast, <i>WP</i>); (figuratively) the <i>strain and struggle</i> that goes with doing God's will in<i> our way</i> (like King Saul of the OT).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from skuthros (sullen) and óps (eye)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>with a gloomy look<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gloomy face (1), looking sad (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4659: σκυθρωπός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">σκυθρωπός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">σκυθρωπόν</span>, also of three term.; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 105 (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 11, 1) (<span class="greek2">σκυθρός</span> and <span class="greek2">ὤψ</span>), <span class="accented">of a sad and gloomy countenance</span> (opposed to <span class="greek2">φαιδρός</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, mem. 3, 10, 4): <a href="/interlinear/luke/24-17.htm">Luke 24:17</a>; of one who feigns or affects a sad countenance, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/6-16.htm">Matthew 6:16</a>.
