Acts 25:3
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.”
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.
