εὐθύς euthus 59x

straight forwards; directly, immediately, instantly, Mt. 3:16; 13:20, 21

εὐθύς adv.,

[in LXX (more freq. than εὐθέως) chiefly for יָשַׁר ;]

= εὐθέως, straightway, directly: Mt 3:16 13:20, 21 14:27 21:2, 3 26:74, Lk 6:49, Jo 13:30, 32 19:34, Ac 10:16 and 42 (41) times in Mk.†

εὐθύς, instead οἵ εὐθέως, is now read in almost all the occurrences in Mk, and, though not so common as εὐθέως, can also be illustrated from the Kowf. Thus in P Petr II. 13(9)* (B.c. 258-253)—a document already cited under eb0éas—we have εὐθὺς τἀντίγραφα ἔπεμψα : cf. PSI TV. 40379 (iii/B.c.) παρέσομαι δὲ κἀγὼ εὐθὺς ἐξ ἑορτῆς, P Oxy IV. 7447 (B.C. 1) (= Selections, p. 33) ἐὰν εὐθὺς ὀψώνιον λάβωμεν ἀποστελῶ σε ἄνω, P Fay 109? (early i/a.D.) εὐθύς σε οὐ κρατῶι, “1 at once give in to you” (Edd.), P Ryl II. 234* (ii/a.v.) ἀνέδωκα τῶι κρατ[ίστῳ ἐπιστρ]ατήγῳ Tas ἐπιστολὰς Kal [εὐθὺς μὲϊν τ]ῷ γραμμάτει αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν. For the form εὐθύ see P Leid Ci: (B.c. 162) (=I. p. 119) ε]ὐθὺ μέλαινα éyévero—an account of a dream, and the Alexandrian Erotic Fragment P Grenf I. 14 * (ii/B.c.) viv ἀνοργισθῶμεν" εὐθὺ δεῖ καὶ διαλύεσθαι, “let us now cease from anger: yes, for we must quickly be reconciled” (Loeb trans.). The Markan use of εὐθύς is discussed by J. Weiss in ZV7W xi. p. 124 ff. In MGr an unaspirated form εὐτύς is also found.
