Exegesis
The focus then shifts from the people to the city itself: Ierousalēm estai patoumenē hypo ethnōn {Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔσται πατουμένη ὑπὸ ἐθνῶν | Ie-rou-sa-lḗm é-stai pa-tou-mé-nē hy-pó eth-nôn} ‘Jerusalem will be trampled by nations,’ where estai plus the present passive participle creates a periphrastic future that highlights an ongoing condition of humiliation.
In context — Luke 21:24
And they will fall by the sword , and they will be taken captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the times of the nations are fulfilled.
