ISBE 1915

From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915). Where it reports or adopts critical theories, those are the views of its writers or the scholars they cite; Gospel Companion holds the historic Christian view of Scripture.

spred, spred'-ing: Alone, or in phrases like "spread abroad," "spread forth," etc., "spread" represents very many Hebrew terms, principally paras; in the New Testament the act of spreading is stronnumi, where in Mt 21:8 b the King James Version has "strawed" (which see); compound in Lu 19:36. For "spread abroad" in Mr 1:28; 1Th 1:8 (exerchomai), the Revised Version (British and American) has "went out" and "gone forth"; conversely, the Revised Version (British and American) has "spread abroad" for the King James Version "break forth" (Isa 54:3,), and "published" (diaphero, Ac 13:49), and for "commonly reported" (diaphemizo, Mt 28:15).
