Exegesis
The verse begins with the genitive absolute construction prokeryxantos Iōannou {προκηρύξαντος Ἰωάννου | prokērýxantos Iōánnou} ‘having proclaimed beforehand (by) John’, a circumstantial participial clause that is temporally prior to the main finite verb in the surrounding context.
In context — Acts 13:24
Before His coming, John had proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
