Exegesis
The temporal conjunction heos {ἕως | héōs} ‘until’ introduces a time limit, followed by the genitive tes pentekostes {τῆς πεντηκοστῆς | tēs pentēkostēs}, forming a definite temporal marker idiomatically rendered “until Pentecost.” The Greek structure—verb + conjunction + place phrase + temporal clause—is mirrored by a main clause plus temporal phrase in English, preserving emphasis on both location and duration.
