Englished and Forwarded for Mme Chabert d'Hyères (Codex Bezae issue):
Lk 4:1 EN THi  ERHMWi

- KAI  HGETO  EN TWi  PNEUMATI  EN THi  ERHMWi. [D05 B , L, W , Sinaiticus,
 579, NA27 ]
- KAI  HGETO  EN TWi  PNEUMATI  EIS THN  ERHMON. [A K M U etc]
- KAI  HGETO  UPO TOU  PNEUMATOS  EIS THN  ERHMON. [N, 700]

1. With AGW, a verb of movement, we expect the preposition EIS; With EN,
wouldn't this verb have to be taken in a figurative sense?

Hereby Luke stated at the outset that he was using an image to indicate the
state of mind of Jesus who had NOT literally gone into the desert.

 suivi de EN :

Other Lucan examples of a verb of movement taken in a figurative sense and
following the preposition EN:

Lk 1:6  POREUOMENOI EN PASAIS TAIS ENTOLAIS KAI DIKAIWMASIN TOU KURIOU
AMEMPTOI "walking in the commandments of the Lord",
Lk 1:78 EPISKEYETAI hHMAS ANATOLH EX hUYOUS "the star from on high has
visited us"
(or in D05 alone: Lk 7:50, 8:48; 22:27).

2. Do we know any similar examples in the NT of a verb of movement intended
in a figurative sense followed by the preposition EN, or is this
distinctive in Luke?
