Exegesis
The verse presents two aorist participles, kheirotonesantes {χειροτονήσαντες | kheirotonḗsantes} ‘having appointed’ and proseuxamenoi {προσευξάμενοι | proseuxámenoi} ‘having prayed,’ which frame the main verb parethento {παρέθεντο | paréthento} ‘they entrusted.’
In context — Acts 14:23
Once they had appointed elders for them in every church, they offered prayer and fasting and then handed those leaders over to the Lord in Whom they had believed .
