'Preached' in the Bible

And he was preaching, saying, “After me comes He who is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, and I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the straps of His sandals [even as His slave].

So they went out and preached that men should repent [that is, think differently, recognize sin, turn away from it, and live changed lives].

The gospel [that is, the good news regarding the way of salvation] must first be preached to all the [Gentile] nations.

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord was working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed.]
