Exegesis
The present imperative poreúesthe {Πορεύεσθε | poreúesthe} ‘go’ issues a command framed by the accusative prepositional phrase eis tēn kōmēn tēn katénanti humōn {εἰς τὴν κώμην τὴν κατέναντι ὑμῶν | eis tēn kōmēn tēn katénanti humōn} ‘into the village opposite you’, where the double article specifies the exact location and the prepositional adjective katénanti governs the genitive.
