A — 1: ἀναγγέλλω

(Strong's #312 — Verb — anangello — an-ang-el'-lo )

signifies "to announce, report, bring back tidings" (ana, "back," angello, "to announce"). Possibly the ana carries the significance of upward, i.e., heavenly, as characteristic of the nature of the tidings. In the following, either the AV or the RV translates the word by the verb "to declare;" in John 4:25 , RV, "declaree," AV, "tell;" in 16:13-15, RV, "declare," AV, "shew;" in Acts 15:4 , RV, "rehearsed," AV, "declared;" in Acts 19:18 , RV, "declaring," AV, "shewed" (a reference, perhaps, to the destruction of their idols, in consequence of their new faith); in Acts 20:20 , RV, "declaring," AV, "have shewed;" in 1 John 1:5 , RV, "announce," AV, "declare." See REHEARSE , REPORT , SHEW , SPEAK , TELL.

A — 2: ἀπαγγέλλω

(Strong's #518 — Verb — apangello — ap-ang-el'-lo )

signifies "to announce or report from a person or place" (apo, "from"); hence, "to declare, publish;" it is rendered "declare" in Luke 8:47; Hebrews 2:12; 1 John 1:3 . It is very frequent in the Gospels and Acts; elsewhere, other than the last two places mentioned, only in 1 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 John 1:2 . See BRING , A, No. 36.

A — 3: διαγγέλλω

(Strong's #1229 — Verb — diangello — de-ang-gel'-lo )

A — 7: ἐκδιηγέομαι

properly, "to narrate in full," came to denote, "to tell, declare;" it is used in Acts 13:41; 15:3 .

A — 8: ἐξηγέομαι

(Strong's #1834 — Verb — exegeomai — ex-ayg-eh'-om-ahee )

lit., to lead out," signifies "to make known, rehearse, declare," Luke 24:35 (AV, "told;" RV, rehearsed"); Acts 10:8; 15:12,14; 21:19 . In John 1:18 , in the sentence "He hath declared Him," the other meaning of the verb is in view, to unfold in teaching, "to declare" by making known. See TELL.

"a showing, pointing out" (en, "in," deiknumi, "to show"), is said of the "showing forth" of God's righteousness, in Romans 3:25,26 , AV, "to declare;" RV, "to show," and "(for) the showing." In 2 Corinthians 8:24 , "proof;" Philippians 1:28 , "an evident token." See SHOW , TOKEN.
