Where it appears

Luke · 3
  1. Luke 2:27 εἰσαγαγεῖν bringing in

    Led by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. And when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for Him what was customary under the Law,

    Here: The parents bring the baby into the temple precinct. The single-action form presents the arrival as one moment, and the two arrivals meet.

  2. Luke 14:21 εἰσάγαγε do bring in

    The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

    Here: 'Bring them in!' The slave is not merely to announce the meal but to escort them across the threshold. Many of them could not get there alone, and none would assume they were welcome.

  3. Luke 22:54 εἰσήγαγον brought

    Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

John · 1
  1. John 18:16 εἰσήγαγεν brought in

    But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

    Here: "He brought in". The natural subject is the other disciple, who is still the subject of the sentence. Grammatically, though, it could be the doorkeeper ("she let him in"), and some translations read it that way.

Acts · 6
  1. Acts 7:45 εἰσήγαγον brought [it]

    And our fathers who received it brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations God drove out before them. It remained until the time of David,

    Here: 'They brought in', a single completed event. The same verb is used in the Greek Old Testament for God bringing Israel into the land (Deuteronomy 6:10; 7:1), so here the people carry the tent into the land God is bringing them into.

  2. Acts 9:8 εἰσήγαγον they brought [him]

    Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.

  3. Acts 21:28 εἰσήγαγεν he has brought

    crying out, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and against our law and against this place. Furthermore, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”

    Here: An aorist (simple past) tense: a single act of escorting them in. He is said to have personally led foreigners past the boundary.

  4. Acts 21:29 εἰσήγαγεν had brought

    For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

  5. Acts 21:37 εἰσάγεσθαι to be brought

    As they were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.

  6. Acts 22:24 εἰσάγεσθαι to be brought in

    the commander ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. He directed that Paul be flogged and interrogated to determine the reason for this outcry against him.

Hebrews · 1
  1. Hebrews 1:6 εἰσαγάγῃ He may bring

    And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”

    Here: "Brings (him) in": a formal leading-in or presentation. In the Greek Old Testament this is the verb for God bringing Israel into the promised land ("when the Lord your God brings you into the land", Deut 6:10). Here it suggests the Son being installed in the realm he inherits.
