a translation such as the ESV, which strives to translate important Greek terms using the same English word as consistently as possible (see the ESV Preface), nonetheless translates this verb using a variety of English terms depending on the context: speakers ‘bring’ (Luke 1:19; 8:1; Acts 13:32; 14:15; 1 Thess. 3:6), ‘tell’ (Acts 8:35) and ‘announce’ (Rev. 10:7) good news, alongside ‘preaching’ and ‘proclaiming’ it. This is quite understandable; such a variety of English renderings accurately reflects the semantic range of the verb.
