What Does Mark 13:10 Mean in the King James?
And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The good message reaches every people by being heralded aloud; its nature is movement outward.
THE MEANING
The good message moves beyond the boundaries of any one people and reaches all peoples. Its movement is public proclamation: something heard and carried onward.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
The lie that the message belongs within one community alone, or is meant to remain private, gives way to its movement among all peoples.
THE ROOT
κηρυχθῆναι
kērychthēnai
GROWS FROM
κηρύσσω
kērussō
To proclaim publicly, as a herald announces a message.
“published” in this verse is kērychthēnai. The Greek word family names both the herald and the proclamation. The verse presents the good message as something voiced outward, moving until it reaches every people.
ALSO GROWS
kēryx: Herald; one who publicly announces a message.
κῆρυξ
The herald is the human voice that carries the message beyond its point of origin.
kērygma: Proclamation; the message announced.
κήρυγμα
The same word family joins the act of proclaiming with the message that travels through it.
THE PATTERN
The good message moves outward through public witness until it crosses every human boundary.
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,THE THREAD
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?“Published” in Mark and “preacher” in Romans come from the same Greek word family for heralding. The connection reveals the human hinge in the verse: the message reaches people through a voice that carries it.
