fōr -tel ´, fōr -tōld ´: The King James Version occurrences of these words in the New Testament represent as many Greek terms, and are in each case rendered differently in Revised Version: (1) Mark 13:23 ( προεῖπον , proeı́pon ), the Revised Version (British and American) "told beforehand"; (2) Acts 3:24 ( προκαταγγέλλω , prokataggéllō ), the Revised Version (British and American) simply "told"; (3) 2 Corinthians 13:2 ( προλέγω , prolégō ), the Revised Version (British and American) "said beforehand," margin "plainly"; compare 1 Thessalonians 3:4 . The foretelling of future events is claimed in the Old Testament as a prerogative of Yahweh (Isaiah 41:22 , Isaiah 41:23; Isaiah 42:9 , etc.; compare Deuteronomy 18:22 ). See PROPHECY .
