Acts 26:13
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.”
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.

Light, illumination, radiance. Phos. God is light. Jesus is the light of the world. Light does not coexist with darkness. Where He comes darkness flees. Be light where you are.
