Precipitant
Precipitant means 1. falling headlong. 2. rushing headlong, rapidly, or hastily onward.
Luke records that when Jesus was in Nazareth, his hometown audience attempted to precipitate a precipitant fall. (Luke 4:16-30)
And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things; and they got up and drove Him out of the city, and led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city had been built, in order to throw Him down the cliff. (Luke 4:28-29, NSASB)
Luke is the only canonical gospel which includes this detail.
Note: This watercolour of Jesus at the brow of the hill of Nazareth was painted by James Tissot (1836-1902).
