Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis to mnemeion {εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον | eis tó mnēmêion} specifies the goal of their motion, with eis marking direction and the articular noun phrase indicating a particular, known tomb. In translation, the singular aorist followed by the plural imperfect is rendered with coordinated clauses to reflect both Peter’s initiative and the joint journey, while preserving the temporal progression and shared action indicated by the Greek conjunctions.
Root and etymology
