Exegesis
The verse opens with the fronted accusative object ten biosin mou {Τὴν βίωσίν μου | Tḕn bí-ō-sín mou} “my manner of life,” which is the topic under discussion.
The prepositional phrase en to ethnei mou {ἐν τῷ ἔθνει μου | en tôi éth-nei mou} locates this life “in my nation,” likely meaning among his own Jewish people, while the coordinated phrase en te Hierosolymois {ἔν τε Ἱεροσολύμοις | én te Hi-e-ro-so-lý-moi} adds “and in Jerusalem,” using te to bind the two locations together and emphasize both broader ethnic context and specific sacred city.
In context — Acts 26:4
So then, all the Jews know my manner of life from my youth, which from the beginning took place among my nation and in Jerusalem.
