NASB | Ephesians 4:11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 4:11 And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as apostles [special messengers, representatives], some as prophets [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as evangelists [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as pastors and teachers [to shepherd and guide and instruct], |
Bible Question: What does it mean to be an "evangelist". |
Bible Answer: Basically, the bearer of good news but as used in Eph and 2Tim it would seem to apply to the work of building up the body of Christ. Philip was also a Deacon and Timothy was Paul's assistant in organizing the new churches. These are the only two named Evangelist, study their activities and gifts and you will have the best picture of what an Evangelist is. |
