πορεύεται
poreúomai
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).

SIBI-P1 Translation G4198-10
goes on his way
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing action), middle voice (self-involved/reflexive nuance), indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present middle indicative, third singular, expresses ongoing action with middle voice nuance, indicating personal involvement in the movement. "Goes on his way" preserves the root sense of proceeding or journeying while reflecting the middle voice’s self-directed force. |
