It often implies providing direction or instruction, whether physically, morally, or spiritually. The term can be used both in a literal sense, such as guiding someone along a road, and in a metaphorical sense, such as guiding someone in truth or wisdom.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, travel was often fraught with danger and uncertainty, making the role of a guide crucial. A guide would be someone knowledgeable about the terrain, capable of leading others safely to their destination. In a spiritual context, guides were seen as those who could lead others in understanding and living according to divine truth. The concept of guidance was deeply embedded in Jewish and early Christian thought, where leaders, prophets, and teachers were expected to guide the people in the ways of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3595.htm">hodégos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to lead, guide, teach<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>guide (3), guides (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3594: ὁδηγέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὁδηγέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὁδήγω</span>;
