Exegesis
Finally, the phrase eis Hierosolyma {εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα | eis Hierosólyma} ‘toward Jerusalem’ specifies the destination, imparting a sense of purposeful direction. In English, the imperfect is rendered in past progressive form, participles are expressed as coordinated actions, and directional intent is preserved in the phrase “toward Jerusalem.”
In context — Luke 13:22
And He was passing through cities and villages, teaching, and pressing on toward Jerusalem .
