Mark 11:8
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.”
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.
