'Pressed' in the Bible

Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no grain.

And Jesus went with him; and a large crowd followed Him and pressed in around Him [from all sides].

Now it happened that while Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret (Sea of Galilee), with the people crowding all around Him and listening to the word of God;

Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over [with no space left for more]. For with the standard of measurement you use [when you do good to others], it will be measured to you in return.”

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. But as Jesus went, the people were crowding against Him [almost crushing Him].

We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair;

But I am hard-pressed between the two. I have the desire to leave [this world] and be with Christ, for that is far, far better;

For even when we were with you, we warned you plainly in advance that we were going to experience persecution; and so, as you know, it has come to pass.
