Exegesis
The terminal prepositional phrase heōs kai eis tas exō poleis {ἕως καὶ εἰς τὰς ἔξω πόλεις | héōs kaì eis tàs éxō póleis} ‘even as far as the outer cities’ uses heōs with kai to mark an emphatic limit, and exō as an attributive adjective to emphasize places beyond the primary centers. In translation, these participles are rendered as finite or circumstantial clauses (“I often punished… I compelled… being exceedingly enraged… I persecuted”) to maintain readability while preserving the Greek sequence of repeated punitive action, coercion toward blasphemy, heightened emotional hostility, and the extension of persecution into more distant cities.
Root and etymology
diōkōdelta–iota–omega–kappa–omega
“to pursue, persecute”
In context — Acts 26:11
And in all the synagogues I often punished them, and I compelled them to blaspheme ; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even as far as the outer cities.
