'Pains' in the Bible

His fame spread throughout Syria, and people brought to him everyone who was sick those afflicted with various diseases and pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralyzed and he healed them.

But all these things are only the beginning of the birth pains."

because nation will rise up in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes and famines in various places. These things are only the beginning of the birth pains."

For we know that all the rest of creation has been groaning with the pains of childbirth up to the present time.

My children, I am suffering birth pains for you again until the Messiah is formed in you.

For it is written, "Rejoice, you childless woman, who cannot give birth to any children! Break into song and shout, you who feel no pains of childbirth! For the children of the deserted woman are more numerous than the children of the woman who has a husband."

When people say, "There is peace and security," destruction will strike them as suddenly as labor pains come to a pregnant woman, and they will not be able to escape.

She was pregnant and was crying out from her labor pains, the agony of giving birth.
