Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the content of the report: hole Ierousalem {ὅλη Ἰερουσαλήμ | hó-lē Ie-rou-sa-lḗm} ‘all Jerusalem’ and the passive verb sugchynnetai {συγχύννεται | syg-chýn-ne-tai} ‘is in confusion’, which depicts an ongoing, citywide disturbance. The order of the participle before the main clause heightens the sense of imminent threat, and the subordinate hoti-clause preserves the immediacy and scale of the upheaval.
Root and etymology
