It is used in the New Testament to describe physical journeys or travels, often in the context of missionary work or significant travels undertaken by Jesus and His disciples. The word can also metaphorically imply a spiritual journey or the path of life.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel was a significant part of life, especially for trade, military campaigns, and religious pilgrimages. Roads and sea routes facilitated the spread of ideas, including the early Christian message. Journeys were often perilous, involving risks from bandits, weather, and political instability. The concept of a journey was also a common metaphor in philosophical and religious texts, symbolizing the pursuit of truth or spiritual enlightenment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4198.htm">poreuomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a journey<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pursuits (1), way (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 4197: πορεία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πορεία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πορείας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">πορεύω</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> down;
