Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "on") and the verb παίζω (paizō, meaning "to play" or "to mock"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of mockery in the Hebrew Bible is often conveyed by words such as לָעַג (la'ag, Strong's Hebrew 3932) and צָחַק (tsachaq, Strong's Hebrew 6711), which carry similar meanings of scorn, ridicule, or derision. These terms are used in various Old Testament passages to describe the mocking of prophets, the righteous, or even God Himself, providing a thematic link to the New Testament usage of ἐμπαίζω. Usage: The term ἐμπαίζω is used in the New Testament to describe actions of mockery or derision, particularly in the context of the treatment of Jesus during His passion. It conveys a sense of contempt and scornful amusement. Context: The Greek verb ἐμπαίζω appears in several key New Testament passages, primarily in the context of the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is used to describe the actions of those who mocked Jesus, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's suffering. In the Gospel accounts, ἐμπαίζω is used to depict the soldiers' and others' mockery of Jesus. For instance, in Matthew 27:29-31, the soldiers mock Jesus by dressing Him in a scarlet robe, placing a crown of thorns on His head, and kneeling before Him in false homage, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" This act of mockery is a poignant illustration of the rejection and scorn that Jesus endured. Similarly, in Luke 22:63-65, Jesus is mocked by the men who were holding Him, as they blindfolded Him and struck Him, taunting Him to prophesy who hit Him. This mockery underscores the fulfillment of the prophetic suffering servant described in Isaiah 53, who was "despised and rejected by men." The use of ἐμπαίζω in these contexts serves to emphasize the depth of humiliation and suffering that Jesus willingly endured as part of His redemptive mission. It also reflects the broader theme of the world's rejection of God's anointed one, a theme that resonates throughout the biblical narrative.
