"to make a show of, expose," is used in Colossians 2:15 of Christ's act regarding the principalities and powers, displaying them "as a victor displays his captives or trophies in a triumphal procession" (Lightfoot). Some regard the meaning as being that He showed the angelic beings in their true inferiority (see under TRIUMPH). For its other occurrence, Matthew 1:19 , see EXAMPLE , B, No. 1.
denotes "to look well, make a fair show" (eu, "well," prosopon, "a face"), and is used in Galatians 6:12 , "to make a fair show (in the flesh)," i.e., "to make a display of religious zeal." Deissmann illustrates the metaphorical use of this word from the papyri in Light from the Ancient East, p. 96.
Note: For parateresis, AV marg. in Luke 17:20 , "outward show," see OBSERVATION.Copyright Statement
