It often describes actions that occur without delay, emphasizing promptness and directness. This term is frequently used in the Gospel of Mark, highlighting the swift and decisive actions of Jesus and His disciples.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of immediacy was often associated with efficiency and decisiveness, qualities valued in leaders and individuals of authority. The use of εὐθύς in the New Testament reflects the urgency and importance of Jesus' mission and the response it demands from His followers. The term underscores the dynamic and active nature of Jesus' ministry, contrasting with the often slow and deliberate processes of religious and societal norms of the time.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2117</b> <i>euthýs</i> – properly, <i>straight</i>, without unnecessary zig-zags (detours); <i>upright</i> (not crooked, bent); (figuratively) <i>without delay</i>; acting <i>immediately</i>, "straightway," taking a <i>direct</i> path from "God's point A" to "God's point B" which avoids<i> unnecessary delays </i>(deviations).</p><p class="discovery"> <tab>[This root (<i>euthy-</i>) often correlates in the <i>LXX</i> to the OT term, <i>yāsar</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 used as an adjective or adverb<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>straight, straightway<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>early (1), immediately (52), just then (1), right (2), straight (6).<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 2117: εὐθύς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐθύς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">εὐθεῖα</span>, <span class="greek2">εὐθύ</span>, the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">יָשָׁר</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span> down), <span class="accented">straight</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> properly, <span class="accented">straight, level</span>: of a way (<a href="/interlinear/matthew/3-3.htm">Matthew 3:3</a>); <a href="/interlinear/mark/1-3.htm">Mark 1:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/3-4.htm">Luke 3:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/9-11.htm">Acts 9:11</a>; <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">εὐθεῖαν</span> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">εὐθείας</span>), namely, <span class="greek2">ὁδόν</span> (an ellipsis common also in classical Greek cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, § 64, 5), <a href="/interlinear/luke/3-5.htm">Luke 3:5</a>; <span class="greek2">εὐθεῖα</span> <span class="greek2">ὁδός</span> <span class="accented">the straight, the right way,</span> is figuratively used of true religion as a rule of life leading to its goal, i. e. to salvation, <a href="/interlinear/2_peter/2-15.htm">2 Peter 2:15</a>; <span class="greek2">αἱ</span> <span class="greek2">ὁδοί</span> <span class="greek2">κυρίου</span>, the right and saving purposes of God, <a href="/interlinear/acts/13-10.htm">Acts 13:10</a> (Song of the Three Children, verse 3). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> tropically, <span class="accented">straightforward, upright, true, sincere</span> (as often in secular authors): <span class="greek2">καρδία</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-21.htm">Acts 8:21</a> (<span class="greek2">εὐθεῖς</span> <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">καρδία</span> often in the Psalms, as <a href="/interlinear/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/31-11.htm">Psalm 31:11</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 32:11>); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Psalms 35:11> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 36:11>)).<FOOTNOTE:1> <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2117: εὐθύς (adv)</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">εὐθύς (adv)</span></span>, adverb (from <span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span> down), equivalent to <span class="greek2">εὐθέως</span>, with which it is often interchanged in the manuscripts (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">εὐθέως</span></span>); <span class="accented">straightway, immediately, forthwith</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/3-16.htm">Matthew 3:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-20.htm">Matthew 13:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/13-32.htm">John 13:32</a>, etc. (Cf. <span class="abbreviation">Phryn. ed.
