Usage: The verb ἀναβοάω is used in the New Testament to describe a loud cry or shout, often in a context of urgency or strong emotion. It conveys the idea of raising one's voice to be heard, typically in a public or communal setting.

Context: The Greek verb ἀναβοάω appears in the New Testament to depict instances where individuals or groups raise their voices in a loud cry. This term is often associated with moments of intense emotion, whether in desperation, proclamation, or appeal. The prefix ἀνά (ana) suggests an upward or intensified action, indicating that the cry is not just vocal but emphatic and forceful.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀναβοάω is used in contexts where the speaker seeks to draw attention or express a deep-seated feeling. For example, in Luke 23:18, the crowd "cried out" together, demanding the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus. This usage underscores the collective and urgent nature of their demand.

The verb is also found in Acts 22:23, where the crowd "shouted" as they threw off their cloaks and flung dust into the air, demonstrating their vehement opposition to Paul's message. Here, ἀναβοάω captures the chaotic and fervent atmosphere of the scene.

The use of ἀναβοάω in the New Testament highlights the human tendency to express profound emotions vocally, whether in moments of crisis, celebration, or confrontation. It serves as a reminder of the power of the spoken word to convey the depths of the human heart.
