Exegesis
The appositional adjective cholos {χωλός | chōlós} ‘lame’ reinforces his condition, while the phrase ek {ἐκ | ek} ‘from’ koilias {κοιλίας | koilías} ‘womb’ of his mother indicates congenital origin.
In context — Acts 14:8
And a certain man was sitting in Lystra, powerless in his feet, lame from the womb of his mother, who had never walked.
