εὐθέως, adverb (from εὐθύς), straightway, immediately, forthwith: Matthew 4:20, 22; Matthew 8:3, and often in the historical books, especially Mark's Gospel (where, however, T Tr WH have substituted εὐθύς in some 35 out of 41 cases); elsewhere only in Galatians 1:16; James 1:24; Revelation 4:2, (for פִּתְאֹם, Job 5:3). shortly, soon: 3 John 1:14.

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word εὐθύς (euthys), meaning "straight" or "immediate."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εὐθέως, similar concepts of immediacy and promptness can be found in Hebrew words such as מִיָּד (miyad, Strong's Hebrew 3027), which can mean "immediately" or "at once" in certain contexts.

Usage: This term is frequently used in the New Testament to describe actions that occur without delay. It emphasizes the immediacy of an event or response, often highlighting the swift obedience or reaction of individuals to divine instruction or miraculous occurrences.

Context: The Greek adverb εὐθέως appears prominently in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels, where it underscores the immediacy of Jesus' actions and the responses of those He encounters. This term is used to convey the urgency and decisiveness that characterize the ministry of Jesus and the Kingdom of God.

In the Gospel of Mark, εὐθέως is a key narrative device, appearing frequently to maintain a sense of momentum and immediacy. For example, in Mark 1:18 (BSB), "And immediately they left their nets and followed Him," the use of εὐθέως highlights the disciples' prompt response to Jesus' call. Similarly, in Mark 1:42 (BSB), "And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed," the term emphasizes the instantaneous nature of Jesus' healing power.

The use of εὐθέως is not limited to physical actions but also extends to spiritual and emotional responses. In Matthew 14:31 (BSB), "Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of him," the word underscores Jesus' readiness to save and support those in need.

Theologically, εὐθέως reflects the urgency of the Gospel message and the call to respond without hesitation. It serves as a reminder of the immediacy of God's intervention in human affairs and the expectation of a prompt response from believers.
