Exegesis
Parallel prepositional phrases—apo skotous eis phos {ἀπὸ σκότους εἰς φῶς | a-pó skó-tous eis phôs} ‘from darkness into light’ and, by ellipsis of apo, tēs exousias tou Satana epi ton theon {τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ Σατανᾶ ἐπὶ τὸν θεόν | tês e-xou-sí-as toû Sa-ta-nâ e-pí tón the-ón} ‘from the authority of Satan to God’—underscore a decisive realm shift.
In context — Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness into light, and from the authority of Satan to God , in order that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.
