ἐξηγέομαι, ἐξηγοῦμαι; imperfect ἐξηγουμην; 1 aorist ἐξηγησαμην;

1. properly, to lead out, be leader, go before (Homer, et al.).

2. metaphorically, (cf. German ausführen) to draw out in narrative, unfold in teaching;

a. to recount, rehearse: (with the accusative of the thing and the dative of person, Act 10:8); with the accusative of thing, Luk 24:35; Act 21:19; without an accusative, followed by relative pronoun or adverb, ὅσα ἐποίησεν, Act 15:12; καθώς, 14 (so in Greek writings from Herodotus down; the Sept. for ñÄôÅø, Jdg 7:13, etc.).

b. to unfold, declare: Joh 1:18 (namely, the things relating to God; also used in Greek writings of the interpretation of things sacred and divine, oracles, dreams, etc.; cf. Meyer at the passage; Alberti, Observationes etc., p. 207f).
