Exegesis
The aorist middle indicative erxato {ἤρξατο | ḗrxato} ‘he began’ combines with the complementary present infinitive ekballein {ἐκβάλλειν | ekbállein} ‘to drive out’, forming an inceptive construction that highlights the initiation of a decisive act.
In context — Luke 19:45
And having entered the temple, He began to drive out the sellers .
