Exegesis
The narrative then shifts to the response using two coordinated finite verbs joined by kai {καὶ | kaì}: hēlato {ἥλατο | hē-la-to} ‘he leaped’ (aorist, portraying the immediate, punctiliar reaction) and periepatei {περιεπάτει | pe-ri-e-pá-tei} ‘he was walking’ (imperfect, depicting ongoing, continuous movement). This aspectual contrast mirrors the sudden onset of healing followed by sustained walking. In English, the imperative is preserved as a direct quote, while the sequence of aorist and imperfect is rendered with “leaped” and “began/started walking” to convey both the instantaneous leap and the ensuing continued action.
In context — Acts 14:10
He said with a loud voice , “Stand upright on your feet.” And he leaped and began walking.
