Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase eis tēn parembolēn {εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν | eis tḕn parembolḗn} ‘into the barracks’ marks the safe destination within the Roman military compound, closing the movement from danger in the crowd to protection under military authority. English renderings use temporal and causal clauses plus a chain of coordinated verbs to mirror the Greek participial and infinitival structure while making the sequence of fear, command, and rescue clear.
