Use Strong's responsibly

Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon

παθητός, παθητη, παθητον (πάσχω, παθεῖν);

1. passible (Latinpatibilis, Cicero, de nat. deor. 3, 12, 29), endued with capacity of suffering, capable of feeling; often in Plutarch, as παθητον σῶμα.

2. subject to the necessity of suffering, destined to suffer (Vulg.passibilis): Act 26:23 (with the thought here respecting Christ as παθητός compare the similar language of Justin Martyr, dialog contra Trypho, chapters 36, 39, 52, 68, 76, 89); cf. Winers Grammar, 97 (92); (Buttmann, 42 (37)); (so in ecclesiastical writings also, cf. Otto’s Justin, Greek index under the word; Christ is said to be παθητός and ἀπαθής in Ignatius ad Eph. 7, 2 [ET]; ad Polycarp, 3, 2 [ET]).
