Luke 13:22 — ExegesisTAB

The verse begins with kai {Καὶ | Kaí} ‘and’ linking this event to the preceding narrative, followed by the imperfect deponent verb dieporeueto {διεπορεύετο | dieporeúeto} ‘he was journeying’, conveying continuous movement. The prepositional phrase kata poleis kai komas {κατὰ πόλεις καὶ κώμας | katá póleis kaí kṓmas} marks traversal through both urban and rural locales. The nominative participle didaskon {διδάσκων | didáskōn} ‘teaching’ functions circumstantially, indicating simultaneous instruction during travel. The participial phrase poreian poioumenos {πορείαν ποιούμενος | poreían poioúmenos} literally ‘making a journey’ emphasizes deliberate progression. 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.”
