Exegesis

The phrase dia tou pneumatos {διὰ τοῦ πνεύματος | diá tou pneúmatos} attributes the speech to divine agency, and the negative infinitive mē epibainein {μὴ ἐπιβαίνειν | mḕ epibaínein} states the prohibition, with eis Hierosolyma {εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα | eis Hierosólyma} indicating the destination. These structures are rendered in English as coordinated sentences preserving aspectual and modal nuances.

In contextActs 21:4
