The aorist eisēlthen {εἰσῆλθεν | eisēlthen} ‘he entered’ introduces the next key event, his entry into sacred space, with the prepositional phrase syn autois {σύν αὐτοῖς | sýn autoîs} ‘with them’ highlighting his new association with Peter and John, and eis to hieron {εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν | eis tó hierón} ‘into the temple’ marking the goal of movement.
