Exegesis
The second eis-phrase, eis ten synagogen tōn Ioudaiōn {εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν τῶν Ἰουδαίων | eis tḕn sy-na-go-gḕn tṓn I-ou-daí-ōn}, specifies the target of their movement, identifying both the physical space (the synagogue) and its primary constituency (the Jews). In translation, the long Greek sentence is divided into two English sentences to enhance clarity, while maintaining the temporal sequence of arrival followed by deliberate entry into the synagogue.
