apodeiknumi denotes putting someone forward for public view or establishing a claim by demonstrable evidence.

The attested uses divide evenly between putting a person on display before others and establishing a matter through evidence: God sets the apostles before the world and a figure displays himself, while accusations require proof and Jesus is presented as attested by God's works.

1. Putting a person on public display · common

   In 1 Corinthians 4:9, the aorist active indicative occurs where God places the apostles last, and the APB renders the clause "God exhibited us the apostles last" as they become a theatre to the world, angels, and humans. In 2 Thessalonians 2:4, the present active participle describes the one who sits in God's temple; the APB renders him as "displaying himself as God."

2. Establishing a matter by evidence · common

   In Acts 25:7, the aorist active infinitive stands in the clause about serious accusations that could not be established; the APB renders this as accusations which the Jews "were not able to prove." In Acts 2:22, the perfect passive participle describes Jesus in connection with powers, wonders, and signs done by God, and the APB renders him as "a man attested to you by God."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies between "exhibited," "displaying," "prove," and "attested" across these clauses. Because its English is a whole-verse translation, these renderings indicate the clauses' presentation rather than fixed English equivalents.
