Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(26) Men's hearts failing them for fear.--The verb so rendered is used by St. Luke only in the New Testament. Its literal meaning is to breathe out the soul, and it was, therefore, a word which would naturally enter into the vocabulary of a physician, both in its primary and figurative sense. The mental state which it expresses exactly agrees with that described in Acts 27:20, in connection with the tempest.For looking after those things.--Literally, for expectation, the noun being used only by St. Luke in the New Testament.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekMenἀνθρώπων (anthrōpōn)Noun - Genitive Masculine PluralStrong's 444: A man, one of the human race.
