In the New Testament, it is used both literally and metaphorically to describe those who provide direction or instruction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, a "hodégos" was often a person who led travelers through unfamiliar territory, ensuring they reached their destination safely. This role was crucial in a time when roads were less developed and travel could be perilous. The concept of guidance extended beyond physical journeys to include moral and spiritual leadership, reflecting the importance of wise and trustworthy guides in both personal and communal life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3598.htm">hodos</a> and <a href="/greek/2233.htm">hégeomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a leader, guide<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>guide (2), guides (3).<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 3595: ὁδηγός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὁδηγός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὁδηγοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">ὁδός</span> and <span class="greek2">ἡγέομαι</span>t; cf. <span class="greek2">χορηγός</span>), <span class="accented">a leader of the way, a guide</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> properly: <a href="/interlinear/acts/1-16.htm">Acts 1:16</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span> 5, 5, 15; <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, Alex. 27; 1 Macc. 4:2; 2 Macc. 5:15). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> in figurative and sententious discourse <span class="greek2">ὁδηγός</span> <span class="greek2">τυφλῶν</span>, i. e. like one who is literally so called, namely <span class="accented">a teacher of the ignorant and unexperienced,</span> <a href="/interlinear/romans/2-19.htm">Romans 2:19</a>; plural, <span class="greek2">τυφλοί</span> ... <span class="greek2">ὁδηγοί</span> <span class="greek2">τυφλῶν</span>, i. e. like blind guides in the literal sense, in that, while themselves destitute of a knowledge of the truth, they offer themselves to others as teachers, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/15-14.htm">Matthew 15:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/23-16.htm">Matthew 23:16, 24</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>guide, leader. <p>From <a href="/greek/3598.htm">hodos</a> and <a href="/greek/2233.htm">hegeomai</a>; a conductor (literally or figuratively (teacher)) -- guide, leader. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/3598.htm">hodos</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2233.htm">hegeomai</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>οδηγοι οδηγοί ὁδηγοί ὁδηγοὶ οδηγον οδηγόν ὁδηγὸν οδηγου οδηγού ὁδηγοῦ hodegoi hodegoí hodegoì hodēgoi hodēgoí hodēgoì hodegon hodegòn hodēgon hodēgòn hodegou hodegoû hodēgou hodēgoû odegoi odēgoi odegon odēgon odegou odēgou<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/15-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 15:14</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
