64In expounding the present text, Chrysostom thinks of evangelists contemporary with Paul, but instead of Philip he mentions Priscilla and Aquila, “who did not go about everywhere, but only preached the gospel” (Homilies on Ephesians 11 [PG 62, 82D]). (No doubt they did preach the gospel, but among the various forms of Christian service which Paul and Luke record them as rendering in Corinth, Ephesus, or Rome, this finds no explicit mention.) Elsewhere, alongside the masculine εὐαγγελιστής Chrysostom uses a feminine form, εὐαγγελίστϱια, by which he designates the Canaanite woman of Matt. 15:21-28 (On the Dismissal of the Canaanite Woman 4 [PG 52, 452A]) and the Samaritan woman of John 4:7-42 (Diverse Homilies 7.1 [PG 63, 493C]).
65Its non-Christian occurrence on an inscription of Rhodes (IG XII. 1.675.6), of a deliverer of oracles, has been assigned a Christian origin by H. Achelis, “Spuren des Urchristentums auf den griechischen Inseln?” ZNW 1 (1900), 87-100; arguments to the contrary are given by A. Dieterich, “εὐαγγελιστής,” ZNW 1 (1900), 336-38.
66εὐαγγελήζομαι (in the NT the active εὐαγγελίζω is found only in Revelation). On the εὐαγγέλιον word-group see H. Schniewind, Euangelion I-II (Gütersloh, 1927-31).
