It implies a detailed and clear exposition of a subject, ensuring that the listener or reader fully understands the matter at hand. This term is often used in contexts where precise communication is necessary to avoid misunderstanding.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, clarity in communication was highly valued, especially in legal, philosophical, and educational contexts. The ability to explain concepts thoroughly was a mark of a skilled teacher or orator. In the context of the New Testament, this term reflects the importance of clear teaching and proclamation of the Gospel message, ensuring that the truths of the faith are understood by all.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and saphés (clear)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to make clear, explain fully<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>explain (1), reported (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1285: διασαφέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διασαφέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">διασάφω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">διεσάφησα</span>; (<span class="greek2">σαφής</span> clear); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to make clear or plain, to explain, unfold, declare</span>: <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">παραβολήν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-36.htm">Matthew 13:36</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> text <span class="manuref">WH</span>; (<span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, Phoen. 398; <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, legg. 6, 754 a.; others; <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 2, 1, 1; 3, 52, 5). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> of things done, to declare, i. e. <span class="accented">to tell, announce, narrate</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/18-31.htm">Matthew 18:31</a>; (2 Macc. 1, 18; <span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 1, 46, 4; 2, 27, 3).
