Berean Strong's Lexicon

euaggelizó: To proclaim good news, to evangelize, to preach the gospel

Original Word: εὐαγγελίζω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: euaggelizó
Pronunciation: yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo
Phonetic Spelling: (yoo-ang-ghel-id'-zo)
Definition: To proclaim good news, to evangelize, to preach the gospel
Meaning: I bring good news, preach good tidings, with or without an object, expressing either the persons who receive the good news or the good news itself (the good news being sometimes expressed as a person).

Word Origin: Derived from εὖ (eu, meaning "good" or "well") and ἄγγελος (angelos, meaning "messenger" or "angel")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of proclaiming good news is בָּשַׂר (basar, Strong's Hebrew 1319), which means to bring news or to announce.

Usage: The verb "euaggelizó" primarily means to announce or proclaim good news, specifically the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of preaching or spreading the message of salvation through Christ. This term emphasizes the joyous and transformative nature of the message being delivered.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the term "euaggelizó" was used in a secular context to announce good news, such as a military victory or the ascension of a new ruler. In the New Testament, this term is imbued with profound spiritual significance, as it refers to the proclamation of the Gospel—the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the salvation He offers. The early Christians adopted this term to describe their mission of spreading the message of Christ to all nations, fulfilling the Great Commission.

2097 euaggelízō (from 2095 /eú, "good, well" and angellō, "announce, herald") – properly, proclaim "the good message" (good news). In the NT, 2097 (euaggelízō) refers to sharing the full Gospel of Christ – literally, "gospelizing" that announces the complete message of "the good news" (the Lord's glad tidings).
