Exegesis
The verse begins with the conjunction kai {καὶ | kaì} linking this narrative to the prior context.
The directive unfolds through the compound prepositional phrase eis tas plateias kai rhymas tēs poleōs {εἰς τὰς πλατείας καὶ ῥύμας τῆς πόλεως | eis tâs plateías kaì rhúmas tês póleōs}, juxtaposing public ways with narrower passages, and culminates in a series of accusatives—ptochous, anapeirous, typhlous, cholous—that catalog marginalized groups.
