Englished and Forwarded for Mme Chabert d'Hyères:

Lk 4:1 follow-up:

- 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]

Doesn't the phrase EN TWi PNEUMATI mean "in his spirit" or "mentally"

[It's worth noting that this is not the case in the similar phrase in Lk
2:27, since HLQEN governs the preposition EIS and cannot be taken in a
figurative sense.

HLQEN EN TWi PNEUMATI EIS TO hIERON

Simeon came into the Temple in the Spirit: he entered the Temple in body
following the revelation which he had had.

On the other hand, wouldn't Lk 4:1 be comparable to Rev 1:10?

EGENOMHN EN PNEUMATI EN THi KURIAKHi hHMERAi

Are there other comparable adverbial phrases implying "mentally," or
"spiritually?"
