Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis hodon {εἰς ὁδὸν | eis hodón} “into the road” specifies the movement’s direction and setting, aligning Jesus’ departure with the journey motif prominent in this section.
The aorist participle prosdramon {προσδραμὼν | prosdramōn} “running up,” modified implicitly by heis {εἷς | heîs} “one,” foregrounds a single individual who approaches with urgency.
