It is used in the New Testament to convey the act of proving or making something evident, often in the context of demonstrating truth or authenticity. This verb implies a clear and convincing presentation of evidence or truth.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, rhetoric and demonstration of truth were highly valued, especially in legal and philosophical contexts. The ability to "show" or "prove" something was crucial in debates, legal proceedings, and philosophical discussions. The use of "apodeiknumi" in the New Testament reflects this cultural emphasis on evidence and clarity, particularly in the context of the early Christian mission to demonstrate the truth of the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>584</b> <i>apodeíknymi</i> (from <a href="/greek/575.htm">575</a> <i>/apó</i>, "separated <i>from</i>" and <a href="/greek/1166.htm">1166</a> <i>/deiknýō</i>, "to show") – properly, <i>exhibit</i> (literally, "show<i> from</i>"), <i>demonstrating</i> that something <i>is</i> what it "claims to be" (<i>WS</i>, 226).</p><p class="discovery">584 (<i>apodeiknymi</i>) connects "<i>claim</i> to <i>basis</i>."
