Berean Strong's Lexicon kataggelló: To proclaim, to declare, to announce Original Word: καταγγέλλω Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and ἀγγέλλω (angelló, meaning "to announce" or "to proclaim") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kataggelló," the concept of proclaiming or announcing can be related to Hebrew words like "קָרָא" (qara, Strong's H7121), meaning "to call" or "to proclaim." Usage: The verb "kataggelló" is used in the New Testament to denote the act of proclaiming or announcing something with authority and conviction. It often refers to the public declaration of the gospel or the message of Jesus Christ. This term emphasizes the importance of making known the truths of the Christian faith, often in a formal or public setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public proclamation was a common method of communication, especially for important news or decrees. Heralds would announce messages in public squares or marketplaces. In the context of the early Christian church, "kataggelló" reflects the missionary zeal and the apostolic mandate to spread the gospel to all nations. The early Christians were tasked with proclaiming the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, often in the face of persecution and opposition.
