In the New Testament, it is used to convey deep emotion, sorrow, or compassion. Tears are often a physical manifestation of inner feelings, whether of grief, repentance, or empathy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, tears were seen as a natural and sincere expression of emotion. They were often associated with mourning, repentance, and supplication. In the context of the Bible, tears can signify both personal sorrow and communal lamentation. The act of weeping was sometimes part of public mourning rituals, and tears were considered a genuine expression of one's heart.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a teardrop<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tear (2), tears (8).<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 1144: δάκρυ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δάκρυ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">δακρυος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span>, and <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">δάκρυον</span>, <span class="greek2">δακρυου</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">a tear</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/9-24.htm">Mark 9:24</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/20-19.htm">Acts 20:19, 31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/2-4.htm">2 Corinthians 2:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_timothy/1-4.htm">2 Timothy 1:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/5-7.htm">Hebrews 5:7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/12-17.htm">Hebrews 12:17</a>.
