Greek Commentary for Acts 16:28
The usual construction (μη mē and the aorist subjunctive) for a prohibition not to begin to do a thing. The older Greek would probably have used ποιησηις poiēsēis here. The later Greek does not always preserve the old distinction between ποιεω poieō to do a thing, and πρασσω prassō to practice, though πρασσετε prassete keeps it in Philemon 4:9 and ποιεω poieō is rightly used in Luke 3:10-14. As a matter of fact πρασσω prassō does not occur in Matthew or in Mark, only twice in John, six times in Luke‘s Gospel, thirteen in Acts, and elsewhere by Paul. [source]
