Kenneth Litwak wrote about Luke 4: The first part of verse one speaks of the PNEUMATOS hAGIOU, so I would take the PNEUMATI in the last part as also referring to the Holy Spirit. I understand the phrase EN TWi PNEUMATI as an instrumental dative (dat. of means), giving the sense "He was led by means of the Spirit." Luke 4:9 HGAGEN DE AUTON EIS IEROUSALHM KAI ESTHSEN EPI TO PTERUGION TOU hIEROU KAI EIPEN AUTWi, EI hUIOS EI TOU QEOU, BALE SEAUTON ENTEUQEN KATW. The verb hISTHMI can be either transitive or intransitive (see BDAG). In this verse, the implied subject is hO DIABOLOS. I would opt for the transitive understanding of hISTHMI in this verse because we find that Jesus is also EPI TO PTERUGION TOU hIEROU because the devil tells him BALE SEAUTON ENTEUQEN KATW.
