Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Grief, Grieve:

signifies "pain," of body or mind; it is used in the plural in 1Pe 2:19 only, RV, "griefs" (AV, "grief"); here, however, it stands, by metonymy, for "things that cause sorrow, grievances;" hence Tyndale's rendering, "grief," for Wycliffe's "sorews;" everywhere else it is rendered "sorrow," except in Hbr 12:11, where it is translated "grievous" (lit., "of grief").
See HEAVINESS, SORROW.

or sullupeo, is used in the Passive Voice in Mar 3:5, "to be grieved" or afflicted together with a person, said of Christ's "grief" at the hardness of heart of those who criticized His healing on the Sabbath day; it here seems to suggest the sympathetic nature of His grief because of their self-injury. Some suggest that the sun indicates the mingling of "grief" with His anger.
