Matthew 22:9
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.”
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.

therefore

οὖν
Therefore, then, accordingly. Therefore since we have been justified through faith we have peace with God. The therefore of Scripture always builds on something God has already done.
