Exegesis
The participial phrase dedemenos egō tō pneumati {δεδεμένος ἐγὼ τῷ πνεύματι | de-de-mé-nos egṓ tô pneú-mati} places the perfect passive participle first for emphasis, presenting Paul as one who stands in a continuing state of being “bound” in relation to the Spirit. The dative phrase tō pneumati functions as a dative of sphere or instrument, indicating that this binding occurs within, and by means of, the Spirit’s influence.
In context — Acts 20:22
And now, behold, I, having been bound in the Spirit , am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will meet me there.
