Exegesis
Its subject is the articular noun phrase to pneuma autou {τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ | tó pneûma autoû} ‘his spirit,’ with the additional prepositional phrase en autō {ἐν αὐτῷ | en autô} ‘within him’ intensifying the internal locus of this reaction.
In context — Acts 17:16
But while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he observed that the city was full of idols.
