Berean Strong's Lexicon euaggelistés: Evangelist Original Word: εὐαγγελιστής Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word εὐαγγέλιον (euaggelion), meaning "good news" or "gospel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "evangelist," the concept of proclaiming good news is present in the Hebrew Scriptures, such as in the role of a "messenger" (מַלְאָךְ, mal'akh) or "herald" (מְבַשֵּׂר, mevaser). Usage: The term "euaggelistés" refers to a proclaimer of the gospel, one who announces the good news of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, an evangelist is someone who is specifically gifted and called to spread the message of salvation through Christ. This role is distinct from that of apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers, though it shares the common goal of edifying the body of Christ and expanding the Kingdom of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the early Christian church, evangelists played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity beyond the Jewish communities into the Gentile world. The term reflects the itinerant nature of their ministry, as they traveled to various regions to preach the gospel. The role of an evangelist was vital in the context of the Roman Empire, where diverse cultures and languages presented both challenges and opportunities for the dissemination of Christian teachings. HELPS Word-studies 2099 euaggelistḗs (from 2097 /euaggelízō, "evangelize") – properly, an "evangelist" (L & N, 1, 53.76); someone with a vocational calling from God to announce the good news of the Gospel (see Eph 4:11). Every Christian is called to share the Gospel, but 2099 /euaggelistḗs ("an evangelist") does so as a vocation, which includes preaching the full message of Christ's salvation (the whole Gospel). See 2097 /euangelizō ("gospelizing"). NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom euaggelizó Definition an evangelist, a bringer of good news NASB Translation evangelist (2), evangelists (1).
