'Pains' in the Bible

Then the news about Him spread throughout Syria. So they brought to Him all those who were afflicted, those suffering from various diseases and intense pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralytics. And He healed them.

and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, with intense and terrible, tormenting pain.”

So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

All these events are the beginning of birth pains.
