Exegesis
The verse begins with the coordinating particle kai {καὶ | kaí} linking the action to the preceding narrative, followed by the aorist verb eiselthen {εἰσῆλθεν | eisêlthen} and the prepositional phrase eis to praitorion {εἰς τὸ πραιτώριον | eis tò praitṓrion}, which together form a compact narrative clause describing a completed movement back into the governor’s residence.
