You’re absolutely right — in the Arabic Van Dyck translation, the phrase “should be preached” doesn’t appear clearly; it’s implied in “أن يُكرز باسمه,” but it’s easy to miss unless you know the Greek.

Let’s break this down word by word 👇

The key word is:
👉 κηρυχθῆναι (kēruchthēnai) — it’s the aorist passive infinitive of κηρύσσω (kērussō),
which means “to proclaim, announce, or preach publicly.”

Here the Arabic uses “يُكرز”, which comes from the Syriac/Greek root “كرز” meaning to preach or proclaim.
So it is there, but hidden inside one word:
👉 “يُكرز” = “be preached.”

It’s just not separated in Arabic like in English.

===== - The Greek κηρυχθῆναι = “to be preached.” =====
* The Arabic يُكرز = the same idea (from the same Greek root).
* The English translation made it explicit (“should be preached”).

So yes — the Arabic does contain it, but only as one short word: يُكرز.

Would you like me to show you how this same Greek verb (κηρύσσω) is used elsewhere in the New Testament — for example, where Jesus himself preaches, and later where Paul uses it to preach about his death — so you can compare how its meaning changed?
