These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of recounting events or delivering a message through structured storytelling. Usage: The term διήγησις is used in the context of providing a structured account or narrative, often with the purpose of conveying a message or teaching. It appears in the New Testament to describe the act of recounting events or stories. Context: The Greek term διήγησις is found in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Luke. It is used to describe the orderly account that Luke aims to provide in his Gospel. In Luke 1:1 (BSB), it is written: "Many have undertaken to compose an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us." Here, διήγησις refers to the narrative or account that Luke is compiling, emphasizing the careful and systematic nature of his Gospel. This term underscores the importance of accurate and faithful transmission of the events surrounding the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The use of διήγησις highlights the intention to provide a reliable and coherent story that serves both as a historical record and a theological document, aiming to strengthen the faith of its readers by presenting the truth of the Gospel in a clear and organized manner.
