Balz and Schneider's " Exegetical Dictionary of the N.T " is worth
consulting on this.

They point out that EUAGGELIZW " appears 54 times in the N.T ....... the
act. appears only in Rv 10:7; 14:6; Acts 16:7 D*; it belongs to later Greek
(BAGD) and has the same meaning as the frequently attested mid. form:
_proclaim_/bring a good report"

Later they say: " however a corresponding EUAGGELIZOMENOS for Jesus appears
in the N.T only in two redactional ( i.e late ) passages of Luke ( 8:1; 20:1)"
