Exegesis
The impersonal verb dei {δεῖ | deî} introduces a divine necessity or obligation, with the following aorist passive infinitive keruchthenai {κηρυχθῆναι | kē-ruch-thē-nai} expressing what “must” take place: the act of being proclaimed. The passive voice highlights the gospel as the object receiving the action, implicitly carried out by commissioned heralds.
