εὐθύς
What it means
An adverb meaning "right away" or "straightaway," and the signature word of Mark's style. It's used dozens of times in the book, as a connector that keeps the story moving at speed: Jesus is baptized and "immediately" the Spirit drives him into the wilderness (1:10, 1:12). Sometimes it means exactly that, and sometimes it is more a storyteller's "then." The same Greek root also means "straight" (1:3).
Range of meaning
- ImmediatelyRight away, with no delay.
- ThenA storyteller's connecting word.
- StraightAs in "make his paths straight."
In Mark
- Chapter 1
"Immediately" runs through the chapter (1:10, 1:12, 1:18, 1:20).
