Acts 14:16
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.”
ὁδός
Not a way among many ways. The way. In the ancient world, hodos meant a road that had been walked and proven. Jesus is not giving directions — He is saying: I am the road itself. Walk in Me and you will arrive.
