Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tou bematos {ἀπὸ τοῦ βήματος | apó toû bḗmatos} uses the preposition apo with a genitive noun to indicate movement away from the tribunal platform. The placement of the verb before the location phrase emphasizes the authority of the expulsion, while concluding with bematos anchors the narrative in the public judicial setting. The formal reconstruction preserves the verb–object–location order of the Greek, and the dynamic version adjusts word choice to convey forceful removal and modern legal context.
In context — Acts 18:16
And he drove them away from the judgment seat .
