Cultural and Historical Background:In the ancient world, traveling by foot was the most common mode of transportation for the majority of people. Roads were often rough and journeys could be long and arduous. Walking was not only a practical necessity but also a cultural norm, especially for those who could not afford animals or chariots. In the context of the New Testament, walking is often associated with the itinerant ministry of Jesus and His disciples, who traveled from town to town preaching the Gospel.
