Acts 13:24

προκηρύξ. not in LXX or Apocrypha, but in classical Greek, cf. also Josephus, Ant., x., 5, 1, and also in Plut., Polyb. πρὸ προσώπου τῆς εἰσόδου : “before the face of his entering in,” R.V. margin, cf. Luke 1:76; here used temporally, really a Hebraistic pleonasm, cf. Malachi 3:1, an expression used as still under the influence of that passage, Simcox, Language of the N. T., p. 154, and also Dalman, Die Worte Jesu, p. 23. εἰσόδου : the entry of Jesus upon His public Messianic ministry, a word which may also have been suggested by Malachi 3:2, LXX.
