Exegesis
The participle anastas is nominative masculine singular and is followed immediately by the finite verb eisēlthen {εἰσῆλθεν | eisēlthen} ‘he entered’, forming a typical participle–main verb sequence in narrative Greek that marks closely connected successive actions: first he rises, then he enters the city.
In context — Acts 14:20
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose and entered the city, and on the next day he departed with Barnabas for Derbe.
