Exegesis
The genitive construction tou Paulou lalountos {τοῦ Παύλου λαλοῦντος | toû Paú-lou la-loûn-tos} functions as a genitive absolute, giving the circumstance “while Paul was speaking” that frames the man’s hearing.
The articular infinitive tou sothenai {τοῦ σωθῆναι | toû sō-thê-nai} in the genitive, governed by its article, expresses purpose or intended result, “for being healed,” closely linked to the man’s faith. In English, the participial chain is rendered with participial and finite verbs (“having fixed his gaze,” “seeing,” “realized”) to preserve the temporal and logical progression while keeping the sentence clear and readable.
In context — Acts 14:9
This man listened to Paul speaking, who, having fixed his gaze on him and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
