Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εὐθύς, similar concepts of immediacy and straightness can be found in Hebrew words such as יָשָׁר (yashar, Strong's Hebrew 3477), meaning "straight" or "upright," and מִיָּד (miyad, Strong's Hebrew 3027), meaning "immediately" or "at once." These terms convey a sense of directness and promptness akin to the Greek εὐθύς. Usage: The word εὐθύς is frequently used in the New Testament to describe actions that occur without delay. It is often employed in the Gospel of Mark to emphasize the immediacy of Jesus' actions and the responses of those around Him. Context: The Greek adverb εὐθύς is a significant term in the New Testament, particularly in the Synoptic Gospels. Its usage underscores the swift and decisive nature of events, especially in the ministry of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of Mark, εὐθύς appears repeatedly, highlighting the dynamic and urgent nature of Jesus' mission. For example, in Mark 1:10 (BSB), "As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove." Here, εὐθύς emphasizes the immediate revelation and divine affirmation of Jesus' baptism.
