Exegesis

The verse begins with the temporal clause hos de eplerou {ὡς δὲ ἐπλήρου | hōs dè eplḗ-rou} “as he was completing,” where hos introduces a time frame and the imperfect eplerou presents John’s ministry as a process approaching its end.

In contextActs 13:25

And as John was completing his course , he was saying, “What do you suppose me to be? I am not he, but behold, One is coming after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.”
