"To work against"; "oppose"; "especially to incite reation".

Antagonise means to do something to annoy, disturb, or irritate someone or something, with the intention to cause harm and to extract an unpleasant reaction from the person or animal or thing.

Why did the Jewish leader fear Jesus?

Pontius Pilate was a ruthless man and had the backing of the most formidable army the world had known. He had no possible reason to be afraid of the Jews. It has been pointed out that had he allowed himself to be bullied into condemning Jesus, as described in the Bible, he would have been relieved of his command in disgrace. The gospel account may have wished to portray Pilate as innocent of the death of Jesus, so as to avoid antagonising the Romans.

Which division of the autonomic nervous system is affected by anesthesia?

Anaesthesia can occur in multiple ways. Some affect spinal neurones (general anaesthetics), some affect the neurones close to the site of injection (local anaesthetic). There are many mechanisms, one of which is the blocking (antagonising) of Na+ channels. This prevents sodium ions from entering the neurone and thus prevents action potentials (nerve impulses) in the neurone. If the neurone was sending nociceptive (pain) sensations then the pain will stop, as the impulse cannot reach the brain.


How you deal with homophobic name calling?

Point out to the person doing the name calling that generally people who call others homosexual are they themselves hiding their own homosexuality. also point out that they really need a better insult if homosexuality is all they can come up with. And if you are homosexual and are being harassed tell them that there musn't be much in their own life to be so interested in yours, and your sexuality, I mean is it even their business? from my experience the ones who do the antagonising are freaks, e.g. they throw their weight around by calling others 'gay' and then go home and shave their legs (and i am talking about a MALE here) and if this doesnt work tell them if they are going to attempt to insult you at least do it properly with something that is actually hurtful,not this immature bullsh*t. if you are homosexual just reply 'whats your point?' and if you arent then tell them to go take a long walk off a short pier. hopefully helpful info....


What are some thing St Stephen said to those who arrested him?

Acts of the Apostles says that Stephen was brought before the Sanhedrin to be tried on a charge of blasphemy. During the trial, Acts tells us that Stephen made no attempt to defend himself, merely antagonising the members of the Sanhedrin by reciting a monologue in which he said "Your fathers" persecuted the prophets (Acts 7:51,52), as if unaware that he was also a Jew, and by lecturing them on Jewish history.In commenting on whether this really happened, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the martyrdom or even existence of Stephen. However, the story of Stephen has been successful down through the centuries in bringing people to the faith.
