Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb τίθημι (tithēmi, meaning "to place" or "to set").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκτίθημι, similar concepts of explaining or setting forth can be found in Hebrew verbs such as בָּאֵר (ba'ar, Strong's H874), meaning "to explain" or "to make clear," and פָּרַשׂ (paras, Strong's H6567), meaning "to spread out" or "to declare." These Hebrew terms capture the essence of making something understandable or manifest, akin to the Greek ἐκτίθημι.

Usage: In the New Testament, ἐκτίθημι is used in contexts where something is being explained or set forth in detail. It appears in narrative passages where an explanation or exposition is given.

Context: The Greek verb ἐκτίθημι appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve explanation or exposition. It is used to describe the act of making something clear or manifest, often in a teaching or explanatory setting. This term is found in the Book of Acts, where it is used to describe the Apostle Paul's actions in explaining the Scriptures and the message of the Gospel.

For example, in Acts 11:4, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states, "But Peter began and explained the matter to them in detail." Here, ἐκτίθημι is translated as "explained," indicating Peter's detailed exposition of the events surrounding the Gentiles receiving the Holy Spirit.

Another instance is found in Acts 18:26, where Priscilla and Aquila "explained to him the way of God more accurately." This usage highlights the role of ἐκτίθημι in providing a clearer understanding of theological truths.

The verb is also used in Acts 28:23, where Paul "expounded to them, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets." This passage underscores the importance of ἐκτίθημι in the context of teaching and persuasion, as Paul lays out the scriptural basis for the Gospel message.
