This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Were the more fierce (ἐπίσχυον)
Only here in New Testament. The verb means, literally, to grow strong. See on Luk 14:30; and Luk 16:3. Here the sense is, they were more energetic and emphatic. Rev., urgent. Wyc., waxed stronger.
Stirreth up (ἀνασείει)
See on Mar 15:11. The increased urgency is shown by the use of a stronger word than perverteth (Luk 23:2).
