Exegesis
The verse begins with two genitive participial phrases, leitourgounton {λειτουργούντων | leitourgountōn} ‘ministering’ and nēsteuontōn {νηστευόντων | nēsteuontōn} ‘fasting’, together with auton {αὐτῶν | autôn} ‘of them’, forming a genitive absolute that sets the temporal background for divine speech.
In context — Acts 13:2
While they were carrying out service to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Designate Barnabas and Saul for Me for the work to which I have called them.”
