SIBI-P1 G71-22

he was led

Rootἄγω (agō)
Core Meaningslead, bring, drive, conduct, carry, guide
Semantic Rangeto lead, guide, bring, conduct, carry off, drive, escort, bring forth; figuratively to lead in thought or behavior, to influence or induce
Conceptual Significanceἄγω is foundational for biblical themes of guidance and direction—whether divine leading, judicial escort, or spiritual influence. In passive forms such as ἤχθη, it often underscores the subject’s submission to external direction, highlighting themes of obedience, suffering, or divine providence.
Morphological NotesVerb; aorist passive indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAP3,,S,). Aorist tense indicates a completed past action; passive voice shows the subject is acted upon; indicative mood states a factual occurrence.
Rendering RationaleThe form ἤχθη is the aorist passive indicative, third person singular of ἄγω, expressing a completed action in past time in which the subject receives the action. "He was led" preserves the core idea of being conducted or guided by another and reflects the passive voice and singular third-person form.
