Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Verb Strong's Number: g1702 Greek: empaizo

Mock, Mocker, Mocking:

a compound of paizo, "to play like a child" (pais), "to sport, jest," prefixed by en, "in" or "at," is used only in the Synoptists, and, in every instance, of the "mockery" of Christ, except in Mat 2:16 (there in the sense of deluding, or deceiving, of Herod by the wise men) and in Luk 14:29, of ridicule cast upon the one who after laying a foundation of a tower is unable to finish it. The word is used

(a) prophetically by the Lord, of His impending sufferings, Mat 20:19; Mar 10:34; Luk 18:32;

(b) of the actual insults inflicted upon Him by the men who had taken Him from Gethsemane, Luk 22:63; by Herod and his soldiers, Luk 23:11; by the soldiers of the governor, Mat 27:29, 31; Mar 15:20; Luk 23:36; by the chief priests, Mat 27:41; Mar 15:31.

A-2 Verb Strong's Number: g3456 Greek: mukterizo

Mock, Mocker, Mocking:

from mukter, "the nose," hence, "to turn up the nose at, sneer at, treat with contempt," is used in the Passive Voice in Gal 6:7, where the statement "God is not mocked" does not mean that men do not mock Him (see Pro 1:30, where the Sept. has the same verb); the Apostle vividly contrasts the essential difference between God and man. It is impossible to impose upon Him who discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Note: Ekmukterizo, a strengthened form of the above, "to scoff at," is used in Luk 16:14; 23:35 (RV, "scoffed at;" AV, "derided").
See DERIDE, SCOFF.

Mock, Mocker, Mocking:

an intensive form of No. 3, "to scoff at," whether by gesture or word, is said of those who jeered at the testimony given on the Day of Penticost, Act 2:13 (some mss. have No. 3).
