b. passages of matters which come to light from things done: Luk 2:35 (some make the verb middle here); Joh 12:38 (Isa 53:1); Rom 1:18; from the gospel: Rom 1:17.
c. ἀποκαλύπτειν τί τίνι is used of God revealing to men things unknown (Dan 2:19; Theod., 22, 28; Psa 97:2 (); 1Sa 2:27; cf. 1Sa 3:21), especially those relating to salvation: — whether by deeds, Mat 11:25; Mat 16:17; Luk 10:21 (by intimacy with Christ, by his words and acts); — or by the Holy Spirit, 1Co 2:10; 1Co 14:30; Eph 3:5; Php 3:15; 1Pe 1:12; τόν υἱόν αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐμοί who, what, how great his Son is, in my soul, Gal 1:16.

(On this word ἀποκαλύπτω (and the following) cf. Westcott, Introduction to the Study of the Gospels, p. 9f (American edition 34f); Lücke, Einl. in d. Offenb. d. Johan. 2nd edition, p. 18ff; especially F. G. B. van Bell, Disput. theelog. de vocabulis φανερουν et ἀποκαλύπτειν in N. T., Lugd. Bat., 1849. φανερόω is thought to describe an external manifestation, to the senses and hence, open to all, but single or isolated; ἀποκαλύπτω an internal disclosure, to the believer, and abiding. The ἀποκάλυψις or unveiling precedes and produces the φανέρωσις or manifestation; the former looks toward the object revealed, the latter toward the persons to whom the revelation is made. Others, however, seem to question the possibility of discrimination; see e. g. Fritzsche on Romans, vol. ii., 149. Cf. 1Co 3:13.)
