Hupodeiknumi denotes making something known by pointing out whom to fear, what will occur, what someone resembles, or how to act.

The attested use is to make something known or point it out: the future forms identify whom to fear, what a person must suffer, and whom a hearer resembles, while the aorist forms refer to showing a pattern of hard work or to a warning about coming wrath.

   The first-person future forms introduce what will be made known: in Acts 9:16 the APB renders that a person's coming suffering will be shown, in Luke 12:5 whom to fear is identified, and in Luke 6:47 a comparison is introduced for the one who hears and acts. The aorist forms look back on such communication: in Acts 20:35 the APB renders an example of working hard to help the weak, while Luke 3:7 and Matthew 3:7 ask who warned the crowds to flee coming wrath.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the relevant clauses with “showed” or “show,” including the future statements in Acts 9:16, Luke 12:5, and Luke 6:47. In Luke 3:7 and Matthew 3:7 it instead renders the question with “warned”; That variation should not be treated as a separate lexical definition.
