hos pa-rang-ge-LEE-an toi-AU-tên la-BON E-ba-len au-TOUS eis tên e-sô-TE-ran phy-la-KÊN KAI tous PO-das ê-spha-LEE-sa-to au-TÔN eis to KSY-lon
Exegesis
The verb ebalen {ἔβαλεν | é-ba-len} ‘he put, he threw’ governs autous {αὐτούς | au-toús} ‘them’ and the prepositional phrase eis ten esoteran phylaken {εἰς τὴν ἐσωτέραν φυλακήν | eis tḗn e-sō-té-ran phy-la-kḗn} ‘into the inner prison’, indicating placement in the most secure cell.
The conjunction kai {καί | kaí} coordinates the middle-voice verb esphalisato {ἠσφαλίσατο | ē-spha-lí-sa-to} ‘he secured’, which takes tous podas auton {τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν | toús pó-das au-tôn} ‘their feet’ as direct object and eis to xylon {εἰς τὸ ξύλον | eis tó xý-lon} ‘into the stocks’ as its complement. The sequence participle + aorist verbs underscores a swift, decisive response shaped by obedience to authority.
In context — Acts 16:24
Having received such an order , he confined them to the inner prison and secured their feet to the stocks .
