ἀνῆλθον εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα
˱I˲_went_up to Jerusalem
Jerusalem was higher than almost any other place in Israel, so it was normal for people to speak of going up to Jerusalem and going down from it. Your language may say ”come” rather than go in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “did I come up to Jerusalem”

ἀλλὰ
but
What follows the word Instead is in contrast to what was expected. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast.
