In Acts 21:26, the present active participle occurs as Paul enters the temple in connection with the completion of days of purification; the APB renders the clause "announcing the completion of the days of purification." In Luke 9:60, the present active singular form directs the man to go and proclaim God's kingdom, while Romans 9:17 uses an aorist passive subjunctive form in the purpose clause that God's name might be proclaimed throughout the earth.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with "announcing" in Acts 21:26 and "proclaim" or "proclaimed" in Luke 9:60 and Romans 9:17. These renderings confirm the clauses' public-declaration setting rather than define each form independently.
