In the New Testament, it often conveys the sense of immediacy or promptness, whether in action or response. It can refer to physical speed or the urgency of a situation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, speed was often associated with efficiency and effectiveness, whether in communication, travel, or military maneuvers. The concept of swiftness was valued in various aspects of life, including athletics, where speed was a prized attribute. In a biblical context, the term "tachus" underscores the importance of readiness and the prompt fulfillment of God's purposes.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 5036</b> <i>taxýs</i> (an adjective) – swift (speedy), without unnecessary delay. <a href="/greek/5035.htm">See 5035</a> (<i>taxy</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[This root (<i>tax</i>-) emphasizes the idea "promptly" (without unjustified time-lapse). <i>Immediacy</i> is conveyed by <a href="/greek/2112.htm">2112</a> <i>/euthéōs</i> ("straightway, <i>right</i> away"). </p><p class="discovery">See also Strong's numbers: <a href="/greek/5030.htm">5030</a> (<i>taxéōs</i>), <a href="/greek/5031.htm">5031</a> (<i>taxinós</i>), <a href="/greek/5032.htm">5032</a> (<i>táxion</i>), <a href="/greek/5033.htm">5033</a> (<i>táxista</i>), <a href="/greek/5034.htm">5034</a> (<i>táxos</i>), <a href="/greek/5035.htm">5035</a> (<i>taxý</i>).]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>quick, swift<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>faster (1), quick (1), quickly (1), soon (2), sooner (1).<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 5036: ταχύς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ταχύς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ταχεῖα</span>, <span class="greek2">ταχύ</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, <span class="accented">quick, fleet, speedy</span>: opposed to <span class="greek2">βραδύς</span> (as in <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, mem. 4, 2, 25), <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ἀκοῦσαι</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
