Exegesis
Finally, the relative pronoun hos {ὃς | hòs} ‘who’ with the adverb oudepote {οὐδέποτε | oudépote} ‘never’ and the aorist verb periepatēsen {περιεπάτησεν | periepátēsen} ‘walked’ underscores that he had never walked. The translation preserves the Greek descriptive sequence while adjusting word order for clarity.
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.
