Guide (Noun and Verb)
“a leader on the way” (hodos, “a way,” hegeomai, “to lead”), “a guide,” is used (a) literally, in Act 1:16; (b) figuratively, Mat 15:14, RV, “guides” (AV, “leaders”); Mat 23:16, Mat 23:24, “guides;” Rom 2:19, “a guide.” Cp. B, No. 1.
“to lead the way” (akin to A), is used (a) literally, RV, “guide” (AV, “lead”), of “guiding” the blind, in Mat 15:14; Luk 6:39; of “guiding” unto fountains of waters of life, Rev 7:17; (b) figuratively, in Joh 16:13, of “guidance” into the truth by the Holy Spirit; in Act 8:31, of the interpretation of Scripture. See LEAD.
“to make straight,” is said of “guiding” the feet into the way of peace, Luk 1:79. See DIRECT.
Notes: (1) in 1Ti 5:14, the RV rightly translates the verb oikodespoteo by “rule the household” (AV, “guide the house”), the meaning being that of the management and direction of household affairs. See RULE. (2) Hegeomai, “to lead,” in Heb 13:7, Heb 13:24, is rendered “that had the rule over” and “that have, etc.,” more lit., “them that were (are) your leaders,” or “guides.”
