denotes “foolish talk, nonsense,” Luk 24:11, RV, “idle talk” (AV, “idle tales”).
“to speak, say,” is always translated “to speak” in the RV, where the AV renders it by “to talk,” Mat 12:46; Mar 6:50; Luk 24:32; Joh 4:27 (twice); Joh 9:37; Joh 14:30; Act 26:31; Rev 4:1; Rev 17:1; Rev 21:9, Rev 21:15.
