Exegesis
The aorist verb anebesan {ἀνέβησαν | an-é-bē-san} ‘went up’ conveys a completed action and, given Jerusalem’s elevation and the temple mount, naturally carries the nuance of ascent.
In context — Luke 18:10
Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee , and the other was a tax collector.
