Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en Pergē {ἐν Πέργῃ | en Pér-gē} “in Perga” specifies the location where the action of speaking occurred, while the object phrase ton logon {τὸν λόγον | tón ló-gon} “the word” refers to the proclaimed message that characterizes apostolic ministry in Acts. The main clause centers on katebēsan, whose lexical sense “go down” likely reflects the actual descent in elevation from inland Perga to the coast.
Root and etymology
parrēsiapar-rē-sí-a
