Exegesis
The main verb anebe {ἀνέβη | a-né-bē} governs the clause anebe eis Hierosolyma apo Kaisareias {ἀνέβη εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἀπὸ Καισαρείας | a-né-bē eis Hi-e-ro-só-ly-ma a-pò Kai-sa-reí-as}, with eis marking the goal (Jerusalem) and apo the starting point (Caesarea). The verb “go up” reflects both geographical elevation and traditional language for journeys to Jerusalem. In English, the participle is rendered as a finite temporal expression (“when he had arrived,” “after entering”) to preserve the sequence of actions clearly while maintaining the inferential oun and the directional nuance of “went up.”
