Exegesis
The agentive prepositional phrase hypo cheirōn anthrōpinōν {ὑπὸ χειρῶν ἀνθρωπίνων | hy-pó khe-ir-ōn an-thrō-pí-nōn} ‘by human hands’ takes the passive verb therapeuetai {θεραπεύεται | the-ra-peú-e-tai} ‘is served,’ alluding to ritual cultic service.
In context — Acts 17:25
Nor is He served by human hands as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things.
