It is used to describe the act of recounting events or stories, often with a focus on clarity and detail. In the context of the New Testament, it is associated with the orderly presentation of events, particularly in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, narratives were a common form of communication, used in both oral and written traditions to convey history, philosophy, and religious teachings. The use of διήγησις in the New Testament reflects the importance of accurately transmitting the account of Jesus and the early Christian community. This was crucial in a time when oral tradition was a primary means of preserving and sharing knowledge.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 1335</b> <i>diḗgesis</i> (from <a href="/greek/1334.htm">1334</a> <i>/diēgéomai</i>, "<i>fully</i> lead, <i>thoroughly</i> conduct, narrate") – properly, a full narration (account), as carefully recorded in an authoritative historical account which is <i>thorough</i> (complete, comprehensive).
