It emphasizes the mode of travel, highlighting the physical journey undertaken without the aid of vehicles or animals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, travel was often arduous and time-consuming. Journeys were typically made on foot, especially for those who could not afford animals or carriages. Walking was the most common means of transportation for the average person, and it required endurance and resilience. The use of "πεζῇ" in the New Testament reflects the everyday reality of travel in the first-century Mediterranean world, where roads were often rough and distances significant.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3979: πεζῇ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πεζῇ</span></span> (dative feminine from <span class="greek2">πεζός</span>, which see; cf. <span class="abbreviation">Matthiae</span>, § 400), <span class="accented">on foot</span> or (if opposed to going by sea) <span class="accented">by land</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/14-13.htm">Matthew 14:13</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> text <span class="manuref">WH</span> text; <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-33.htm">Mark 6:33</a>.
