Exegesis
The explanatory conjunction gar {γὰρ | gar} “for” introduces ēdeisan gar hapantes hoti Hellēn ho patēr autou hypērchen {ᾔδεισαν γὰρ ἅπαντες ὅτι Ἕλλην ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ὑπῆρχεν | Ē-dei-san gar HÁ-pan-tes HÓ-ti HÉl-lēn ho pa-TĒr au-TOû hy-PĒR-chen}, clarifying that “they all knew that his father was Greek.” Here hapantes is the subject of ēdeisan, and the content clause introduced by hoti presents the predicate nominative Hellēn linked by hypērchen, emphasizing Timothy’s ethnic background. In translation, the sequence of actions is rendered clearly, and the causal and explanatory markers dia and gar are maintained as “because” and “for.”

Paul chose this man to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in those regions, since they all knew that his father was Greek.
