εὐαγγελιστοῦ
euangelistḗs
evangelist
Herald or bringer of good news; one who announces important news, specifically relating to the proclamation of significant events or messages. In Koine Greek, and especially in early Christian contexts, designates a person commissioned to proclaim and spread the message regarding Jesus, often with an itinerant or missionary function. Broader usage encompasses royal heralds or messengers of joyful announcements, but in the New Testament the sense is focused on those entrusted with the transmission of the good news about Jesus and the restoration or fulfillment associated with him.
