Foretell:

with the aorist form proeipon, and a perfect form proeireka (from proereo), signifies

(2) "to speak before, of prophecy," as "foretelling" the future, Mar 13:23, AV, "have foretold," RV, "have told... beforehand;" Act 1:16 (of the prophecy concerning Judas); Rom 9:29; 2Pe 3:2; Jud 1:17; some inferior mss. have it in Hbr 10:15.
See FOREWARN, SPEAK, TELL.

Note: In Act 3:24 some mss. have prokatangello (see FORESHEW); the most authentic have katangello, RV, "told."
