Exegesis

The clause pôs echousin {πῶς ἔχουσιν | pôs échousin} “how they are” uses echō idiomatically to ask after ongoing condition. In English, the Greek participle-plus-subjunctive is rendered with coordinated finite verbs to preserve the sense of planned pastoral visitation.

In contextActs 15:36

After some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord , and see how they are doing .”
