Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and ἀγγέλλω (angellō, meaning "to announce" or "to proclaim").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταγγέλλω, similar concepts of proclamation and announcement can be found in Hebrew terms such as נָגַד (nagad, Strong's Hebrew 5046), which means "to tell" or "to declare," and בָּשַׂר (basar, Strong's Hebrew 1319), which means "to bring good news" or "to announce." These terms capture the essence of making known or proclaiming important messages, akin to the New Testament usage of καταγγέλλω.

Usage: The verb καταγγέλλω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of proclaiming or preaching, especially in the context of spreading the message of Jesus Christ and the Gospel. It is often associated with the authoritative declaration of divine truths.

Context: The term καταγγέλλω appears in several key passages within the New Testament, emphasizing the importance of proclamation in the early Christian community. It is used to describe the act of making known the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, often in a public or communal setting.

In Acts 17:3, Paul uses καταγγέλλω to explain and prove that Jesus is the Christ: "explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. 'This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,' he declared." Here, the term underscores the authoritative and persuasive nature of Paul's message.

In 1 Corinthians 11:26, the term is used in the context of the Lord's Supper: "For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes." This usage highlights the act of proclamation as a communal remembrance and declaration of faith in the redemptive work of Christ.

The use of καταγγέλλω in Philippians 1:17 further illustrates the boldness and courage required in proclaiming the Gospel: "The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains." Here, the term is associated with the motivations and challenges faced by those who preach the Gospel.

Overall, καταγγέλλω is a term that conveys the responsibility and privilege of Christians to announce the good news of Jesus Christ with clarity, authority, and conviction. It reflects the early church's commitment to spreading the Gospel message to all people, regardless of the circumstances.
