ἐκμυκτηρ-ίζω G1592
mock, sneer at, deride, hold in derision
This compound verb means to mock, sneer at, or hold in derision. Luke uses it twice: in 16:14 the Pharisees sneer at Jesus' teaching about money, and in 23:35 the rulers mock Jesus on the cross. The word suggests contemptuous ridicule, turning up one's nose at someone. The compound intensifies the basic idea of mocking with particular scorn and derision.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Describing contemptuous mocking or sneering, this sense captures hostile ridicule. Luke 16:14 shows the money-loving Pharisees sneering at Jesus' teaching, while 23:35 depicts rulers mocking the crucified Christ. The consistent translation pattern ('sneering', 'se burlaban', 'se moquer') emphasizes the scornful, derisive nature of this mockery, more than simple disagreement. 2×
