Declaration Declare
Declaration Declare [1]
signifies "to announce, report, bring back tidings" (ana, "back," angello, "to announce"). Possibly the ana carries the significance of upward, i.e., heavenly, as characteristic of the nature of the tidings. In the following, either the Av or the Rv translates the word by the verb "to declare;" in John 4:25 , Rv, "declaree," Av, "tell;" in 16:13-15, Rv, "declare," Av, "shew;" in Acts 15:4 , Rv, "rehearsed," Av, "declared;" in Acts 19:18 , Rv, "declaring," Av, "shewed" (a reference, perhaps, to the destruction of their idols, in consequence of their new faith); in Acts 20:20 , Rv, "declaring," Av, "have shewed;" in 1 John 1:5 , Rv, "announce," Av, "declare." See Rehearse , Report , Shew , Speak , Tell.
signifies "to announce or report from a person or place" (apo, "from"); hence, "to declare, publish;" it is rendered "declare" in Luke 8:47; Hebrews 2:12; 1 John 1:3 . It is very frequent in the Gospels and Acts; elsewhere, other than the last two places mentioned, only in 1 Thessalonians 1:9; 1 John 1:2 . See Bring , A, No. 36.
lit., "to announce through," hence, "to declare fully, or far and wide" (dia, "through"), is translated "declaring" in Acts 21:26 , Rv (Av, "to signify"); in Luke 9:60 , Rv, "publish abroad" (for Av, "preach"), giving the verb its fuller significance; so in Romans 9:17 , for Av, "declared," See Preach , Signify.
lit., "to report down" (kata, intensive), is ordinarily translated "to preach;" "declare" in Acts 17:23 , Av (Rv, "set forth"); in 1 Corinthians 2:1 , Rv, "proclaiming," for Av, "declaring." It is nowhere translated by "declare" in the Rv. See Preach , Show , Speak , Teach.

lit., to lead out," signifies "to make known, rehearse, declare," Luke 24:35 (Av, "told;" Rv, rehearsed"); Acts 10:8; 15:12,14; 21:19 . In John 1:18 , in the sentence "He hath declared Him," the other meaning of the verb is in view, to unfold in teaching, "to declare" by making known. See Tell.
