Context: The Greek term ῥεδή (rhedē) is not directly found in the New Testament text but is relevant in understanding the modes of transportation during the biblical era. Chariots and carriages were common in the ancient world, used for both military and civilian purposes. They were symbols of power and prestige, often mentioned in the Old Testament as instruments of war or royal conveyance. The concept of a chariot is significant in biblical narratives, such as the chariots of Pharaoh during the Exodus (Exodus 14:6-7) and the chariot of fire that took Elijah to heaven (2 Kings 2:11). While ῥεδή itself does not appear in the New Testament, understanding its usage helps illuminate the cultural and historical backdrop of the biblical narrative, where such vehicles were part of everyday life and significant events.
