ἐπορεύετο
poreúomai
went his way
To proceed or travel from one place to another, to go; in extended or figurative contexts, to carry on a course of action, conduct one’s life, or, less commonly, to depart (often meaning to die, in euphemism). The primary meaning is related to physical movement or journey, but in Koine Greek the verb frequently acquires a metaphorical sense of living or behaving in a certain way, or of embarking on a particular course (of conduct or fate).
