518 apaggéllō (from 575 /apó, "from" intensifying angellō, "announce") – properly, to declare (report) from, which focuses on the original source (context) shaping the substance of what is announced.

[The prefix (apo) distinctly "looks back" to the cause (occasion) of the announcing which gives 518 (apaggéllō) a distinct nuance-application in each case. This makes sensitivity to the context essential to properly understanding the force of 518 (apaggéllō) in each of its occurrences.]

Word Origin: Derived from ἀπό (apo, meaning "from") and ἀγγέλλω (angellō, meaning "to announce" or "to report").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ἀπαγγέλλω does not have a direct one-to-one equivalent in Hebrew, but similar concepts of announcing or reporting can be found in Hebrew words 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 news" or "to announce." These Hebrew terms are used in the Old Testament to describe the act of conveying messages or news, similar to the function of ἀπαγγέλλω in the New Testament.

Usage: The verb ἀπαγγέλλω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of reporting or announcing information, often with a sense of authority or official capacity. It is used in various contexts, including the reporting of events, messages, or divine revelations.

Context: The Greek verb ἀπαγγέλλω appears in the New Testament as a term for conveying messages or reports. It is often used in contexts where a message is delivered with a sense of authority or importance. For example, in the Gospels, it is used to describe the reporting of Jesus' resurrection by the women at the tomb (Matthew 28:8) and the announcement of His birth by the shepherds (Luke 2:17). In Acts, it is used to describe the apostles reporting back to the church about their missionary activities (Acts 14:27).

The term is also used in the context of divine revelation, where it signifies the communication of God's will or message to His people. In 1 John 1:5, the apostle John uses ἀπαγγέλλω to declare the message he received from Christ: "This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all."

The use of ἀπαγγέλλω underscores the importance of faithful transmission of messages, whether they be the good news of the Gospel, reports of miraculous events, or the teachings of Jesus. It highlights the role of believers as messengers who are entrusted with the responsibility of accurately conveying the truth.
