It involves explaining or interpreting a message, often with the intent of revealing deeper meaning or insight. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of making spiritual truths or divine messages comprehensible to others.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the ability to explain or interpret was highly valued, especially in the context of rhetoric and philosophy. Teachers and philosophers were often tasked with making complex ideas accessible to their audiences. In the Jewish tradition, interpretation was crucial for understanding the Scriptures, and rabbis would often explain the Torah to their students. This cultural backdrop highlights the importance of "phrazó" in the context of teaching and revelation.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5419</b> <i>phrázō</i> – to explain (interpret), especially to use additional aids to bring clarity (cf.
