Language

kraugazo denotes raising a loud cry, whether in public acclamation, protest, demand, or direct address.

The attested use is a loud vocal outcry: crowds raise cries of acclamation or demand, people cry out amid protest, and a speaker or departing demons utter words aloud. The same verbal action is negated in Matthew 12:19, where the APB says that no one will hear his voice in the streets.

Senses in use

  1. Raising a loud vocal cry · dominant

    The term marks voiced outcry in varied settings: in John 12:13 the APB renders a crowd's words of welcome as “they were shouting,” while in John 19:6, John 19:12, John 19:15, and John 18:40 it renders collective demands and objections as cries or shouts. In John 11:43 the aorist active indicative introduces the spoken summons to Lazarus; Acts 22:23 and Luke 4:41 show ongoing participial cries alongside further actions or speech, and Matthew 12:19 negates such public vocal outcry.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the action with “shouting,” “cried out,” and “shouted,” including the negated “nor shout” in Matthew 12:19. These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
