Exegesis
The adjective adynatos {ἀδύνατος | adýnatos} ‘powerless’ is specified by the prepositional phrase en {ἐν | en} ‘in’ Lystrois {Λύστροις | Lýstrois} ‘Lystra’, with tois {τοῖς | toîs} ‘the’ and posin {ποσίν | posín} ‘feet’ marking the sphere of his inability.
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.
