931 GREEK βασανος, BASANOS bas'-an-os perhaps remotely from the same as βασις, - basis G 939 (through the notion of going to the bottom); a touch-stone, i.e. (by analogy) torture:--torment. βασανοις Matt 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. Luke 16:23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. βασανου Luke 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
