King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”
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.
