| 10. Linguistic Exegesis The narrative moves through Paul’s dialogue with the divine, introduced by εἶπον {εἶπον | eî-pon}, which frames his question to the Lord. The conjunction δέ {δέ | dé} provides a soft transition from the preceding context. The clause Τί ποιήσω {Τί ποιήσω | Tí poi-ḗ-sō} employs the deliberative aorist subjunctive to express urgent inquiry. The vocative κύριε {κύριε | kú-ri-e} marks direct address. The response is prefaced by ὁ δὲ κύριος εἶπεν {ὁ δὲ κύριος εἶπεν | ho dè kú-ri-os eî-pen}, with the article plus δὲ placing contrastive emphasis on the speaker. The construction Ἀναστὰς πορεύου {Ἀναστὰς πορεύου | A-na-stàs po-reú-ou} combines an aorist participle with a present imperative to convey decisive, immediate action. The destination is specified by εἰς Δαμασκόν {εἰς Δαμασκόν | eis Da-mas-kón}, and κἀκεῖ {κἀκεῖ | ka-keî} seamlessly links arrival with revelation. The future passive λαληθήσεται {λαληθήσεται | la-lē-thḗ-se-tai} underscores that the information will be given to Paul. The phrase περὶ πάντων ὧν {περὶ πάντων ὧν | perí pántōn hôn} introduces the content of the forthcoming revelation, and τέτακταί σοι {τέτακταί σοι | té-tak-taí soi} uses the perfect passive to indicate divine appointments that stand firm. The infinitive ποιῆσαι {ποιῆσαι | poi-ê-sai} defines the nature of those appointed tasks. |
