Lesson 19 Amplified: EUAGGELIZO

 

EUAGGELIZO

American: announce good news, evangelize

Hebrew Aramaic: basar 

EUAGGELION

American: good news, gospel, evangel

 EUAGGELISTES

American: preacher of the good news; evangelist 

These words are all about the “Great Commission”. This term arose in Christianity during the seventeenth century and refers to Jesus’ command in Matthew 28.16. 

Almost Greek: [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

Matthew 28.16: Now we eleven mathetai [learners, pupils, disciples] traveled to Galilee to the mount where Jesus appointed us, and seeing Him, we prosekunesan [worshipped as a dog licks his master’s hand] Him but we wavered [doubted]. And approaching, Jesus talked with us, saying, “All authority in Ourano [Heaven] and upon the earth was [has been] given to Me. Accordingly, traveling, matheusate [train] all the ethne [races, non-Jews, Gentiles]. Baptizontes [immerse, submerge, baptize] the same into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Hagios Pneuma, teaching them to keep all, as much as I commanded you. And Lo! I AM amidst you all the days until the entire completion of the age. AMEN!”

 

1st Thessalonians 2: 2. For you yourselves know our entrance to you, Brothers, that it hasn’t been empty. Even though having undergone hardship before in Philippi, Macedonia as you know, we were bold, in our Theos, to speak to you the euaggelion of Theos in much anguish. For our paraklesis [imploration, urging, encouraging, solace] wasn’t of error nor of impurity nor deceit, but as we have been approved by Theos to be entrusted with the euaggelion, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but Theos; the One testing our hearts. For neither were we then in logos of flattery (as you know), not with motive of avarice (Theos is Witness) nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others) being able to be burdened as apostoloi [delegates, ambassadors, apostles] of the Christos. We were gentle in your midst as a nurse brooding her own children. Longing for you so and having such warm feelings for you, I shared with you not only the euaggelion of Theos but also my own psuche [soul, life, psyche, ego] because you have been caused to be agapetoi [unconditionally beloved] to me. For you remembered my labor pains, Brothers, working night and day not to put a burden on anyone of you, I proclaimed to you the euaggelion of Theos. You and Theos are witnesses as to how pious, dikaios [just, righteous, equitable] and faultless I was to those having pistis [reliance upon, faith], even as you know how I parakalountes [invited, exhorted] you and paramuthoumenoi [encouraged, consoled] and testified to each of one you (as a father to his own children) that you walk appropriately to Theos, the One calling you into His kingdom and glory.


Romans 10.8: But what says it? “The rhema [word from God] is near you (in your mouth and in your heart).” That is the rhema of pisteos (which we kerussomen [proclaim, herald]), that if you acknowledge [covenant] in your mouth the Kurion Jesus and pisteuses [have faith] in your heart that Theos awakened Him emergent from dead, you sothese [will be saved]. For with the heart one holds pisteuetai toward dikaiosunen [equity, justification, rightness] and with the mouth one acknowledges toward soterian. For the Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament] says, “Everyone having pisteuon upon Him won’t be shamed down,” for there isn’t a distinction for the same Kurios of all of mankind (both of Jew and of Greek); wealth to all of those appealing to Him for “Everyone (whoever invokes the name [authority] of the Kuriou) sothesetai [will be safe; will be saved].”

 

JOEL 2.32 “For it will be that all who call out to the name of YHWH will escape [slip away], for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance,” as YHWH has said, “and there is a survivor to whom YHWH shall call out.”

 

[Romans cont.] How then shall they appeal toward One in Whom they haven’t had pisteusan? How they pisteusousin [shall have faith] in One of Whom they haven't heard? How shall they hear apart from kerussontos [proclamation]? How shall they keruxousin [proclaim, herald] unless they are sent out? Just as it has been written, “How timely are the feet of those euaggelizouenon of peace; of those euaggelizouenon of good things!”

 

ISAIAH 52.7 [YHWH] “How at home on the mountain of God are the feet of him basar shalom [safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship]; basar of good things; making deliverance understood, saying to Zion, ‘Your Elohiym reigns!’”

 

Luke 4.16: And He [Jesus the Christos] came into Nazareth, Galilee where He had been reared. And down to His habit (in the day of the Sabbath), He entered into the synagogue and stood up to read. And the Biblion [Roll, Scroll, Writing, Book] of the prophetou [before-teller, prophet] Isaiah was handed to Him. And having unrolled the Biblion, He found the place where it was written, “The Pneuma of the Kuriou is upon Me; wherefore He anointed Me to euaggelizesthai to the paupers. He has set Me apart to cure the broken hearted; to keruxia freedom to the prisoners and restoration of sight to the blind; to send forth the crushed in freedom; to keruxia a year approved of by the Kuriou.”

 

ISAIAH 61.1 “The Ruwach [Pneuma] of the Adonay YHWH is upon Me for YHWH has anointed Me to basar to the depressed. He has sent Me to bandage the burst heart; to call out freedom to those transported into captivity and the opening of confinement to the yoked; to call out a year of delight of YHWH and a day of revenge of our Elohiym [Triune God]; to sigh over [comfort] the whole of the mourners, to put [grant] consolation and joy to the mourners of [in] Zion; to give them embellishment instead of the depths of ashes, the oil of joy instead of the depths of mourning; the vestment of praise instead of the depths of the ruwach of feebleness and all of this such that one calls out to them: ‘Strong of rightness, plants of YHWH,’ to make Him gleam.”

 

[Luke cont.] Furling the Biblion and giving it back to the servant, He sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently gazing upon Him. Now, He began to speak to them, 

“On this day this Graphe has been fulfilled in your ears.”

 

Acts 5.40: They [the Judaean Sanhedrin] submitted to his [Gamaliel’s] authority and summoning the apostolous [delegates, ambassadors, apostles] (flaying [flogging] them), they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus and totally freed them. In fact, they then departed (from before the Sanhedrin) rejoicing that they were deemed entirely deserving to be made infamous over His name. Every day (both in the Temple and from house down to house) they not paused teaching and euaggelizomenoi of Jesus the Christon. 

Acts 21.8: And having entered into the house of Philip the Euaggelistou (the same being emergent from [one of] the seven) we stayed near [with] the same.
