Exegesis
The main verb apelysan {ἀπέλυσαν | a-pé-lu-san} in the aorist indicative conveys the decisive act of sending or releasing. Greek clusters the participles before the verb to pack the liturgical sequence; English renders them with temporal clauses or non-finite clauses to preserve order and emphasis on commissioning.
In context — Acts 13:3
Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and after laying their hands on them, they released them to go.
