What it means
Literally "the way out." Moses and Elijah speak with Jesus about "his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem" (9:31). It is the same word as the book of Exodus, so Luke gives Jesus' death and resurrection the shape of a new rescue. In 2 Peter 1:15 the same word is used for Peter's own death.
Range of meaning
- DepartureA way out, or an exit.
- DeathA euphemism for dying.
- ExodusThe rescue from Egypt.
In Luke

"They spoke of his departure" (9:31).
