Exegesis
The distributive prepositional phrase kata pólēn {κατὰ πόλιν | ka-tá pó-lin} “in every city” uses kāta with the accusative to denote universality.
The repeated distributive kata pân sabbáton {κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον | ka-tá pân sáb-ba-ton} “every Sabbath” emphasizes regularity.
In context — Acts 15:21
For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who proclaim him, because he is being read in the synagogues every Sabbath .
