Strong's Lexicon eutheós: Immediately, straightway, at once Original Word: εὐθέως Word Origin: Derived from the Greek adjective εὐθύς (euthys), meaning "straight" or "direct." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εὐθέως, the concept of immediacy can be found in Hebrew words like מִיָּד (miyad, Strong's H3027), meaning "immediately" or "at once." Usage: The adverb εὐθέως is used in the New Testament to convey a sense of immediacy or promptness. It often describes actions that occur without delay, emphasizing the urgency or directness of the response or event. This term is frequently used in the Gospels to highlight the swift obedience or rapid unfolding of events, particularly in the ministry of Jesus. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of immediacy was often associated with efficiency and decisiveness, qualities valued in both personal conduct and governance. In the context of the New Testament, the use of εὐθέως underscores the authority and power of Jesus' words and actions, as well as the readiness of His followers to respond to His call. This immediacy reflects the urgency of the Kingdom of God breaking into the world through Christ's ministry.
