Exegesis

The adverbial phrase apo tou nūn {ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν | apó toû nŷn} ‘from now’ signals a temporal break governing the future poreusomai {πορεύσομαι | poreúsomai} ‘I will go’, culminating in the climactic destination eis ta ethnē {εἰς τὰ ἔθνη | eis tà éthnē} ‘into the nations/Gentiles’, underscoring the shift of his mission.
