Exegesis
The second participle, atenisas, carries the main narrative action in participial form, “having looked intently,” followed by the prepositional phrase eis auton {εἰς αὐτὸν | eis autòn}, which specifies the target of Paul’s focused gaze. The Greek order moves from identification (Saul/Paul), to spiritual filling, to concentrated action, creating a progression that emphasizes that his intense look flows out of Spirit-empowerment. In English, the participles are rendered as finite or quasi-finite constructions (“filled with,” “stared intently,” “looked directly”) to maintain readability while preserving the temporal sequence and causality implied in the Greek structure.
In context — Acts 13:9
But Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit , stared intently at him.
