The Key Word — ἐξεπορεύετο, ekporeuōgenerated
The verb ἐκπορεύομαι (ekporeuō) means to go out or spread forth. It is an imperfect tense verb, indicating a continuous action in the past. In this context, it reflects how the news about Jesus was not just a one-time event but an ongoing process of spreading information.
This verb captures the essence of how information travels within a community, suggesting that the news about Jesus was compelling enough to be shared widely. The use of the imperfect tense emphasizes that this spreading was happening actively during that time.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the translation reads spread, which is echoed in the WEB and ASV. The KJV uses went out, which conveys a similar idea but suggests a more definitive action.
The translations differ primarily on the rendering of ἦχος, with fame used in the KJV and rumor in the ASV. This variation reflects different nuances in how the news about Jesus is perceived.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is ἐξεπορεύετο, was spreading, which governs the entire clause. The structure includes a noun phrase as the subject, which is the news about Jesus, and a prepositional phrase indicating where this spreading occurred.
The sentence is straightforward, with the subject followed by the verb and then the prepositional phrases that provide context about the extent of the spreading.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
περὶ is a preposition that appears frequently in the Septuagint, often translated as 'about' or 'concerning.' It helps to mark the subject of discussion, similar to its use in this verse.
τόπος refers to a specific location and is used in both the New Testament and the Septuagint to indicate physical places. In the Septuagint, it translates the Hebrew word for 'place' (מָקוֹם), emphasizing the geographical aspect of the news spreading.

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et divulgabatur fama de illo in omnem locum regionis.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἐκπορεύομαι (ekporeuomai) is built from the components meaning 'out of' and 'to go.' It covers a range of meanings including to depart, proceed, or come forth, and is used in various contexts such as demons leaving a person, feelings emerging, or physical entities like rivers and swords. In the New Testament, it appears in passages discussing both literal and metaphorical departures.

The Greek word ἦχος (i.e., *ēchos*) means sound or noise, often referring to a loud or confused noise, like an echo. It can also denote a rumor or report, as seen in various New Testament passages. The word is derived from a later form of ἠχή, and its usage spans both classical and New Testament Greek.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

τόπος (i.e. *topos*) means 'place' and refers to a specific location or position, whether inhabited or uninhabited. It can also denote metaphorical concepts such as opportunity or condition. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including physical locations (e.g., Luke 4:37) and metaphorical meanings (e.g., Romans 12:19). The lexicons note its use in both literal and figurative senses without significant disagreement.

Counted over the 274 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

περίχωρος refers to something that is round about or neighboring. It is often used in the New Testament to describe regions or countries surrounding a particular area, as seen in verses like Matthew 14:35 and Acts 14:6. The term can also refer to the people living in those regions.
περίχωρος. In Ac 145 ἡ περίχωρος (sc. γῆ) describes ‘‘ the country that lies round”’ the two cities of Lystra and Derbe, ‘‘ where there were no cities but only villages organized after the Anatolian style, not according to the Hellenic municipal fashion” (Ramsay Recent Discovery, p. 39 π.ῖ: cf.

re'-jun: A "district," as in modern English. The word "region" is used by English Versions of the Bible interchangeably with "country," "coasts," etc., for various Hebrew and Greek terms, but "region round about" is usually in the King James Version and invariably in the Revised Version (British and American) the translation of perichoros, "surrounding country." For a possible technical use of "region" in Ac 16:6 and the Revised Version (British and American) 18:23.
