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.
In context — Acts 18:6
When they kept resisting and speaking against him, he shook out his clothes and said, “Your blood is on your own heads; I am clean . From this point on I will go to the Gentiles .”
