Exegesis
The verse begins with two circumstantial participles, dianoigon {διανοίγων | dia-noí-gōn} ‘explaining thoroughly’ and paratithemenos {παρατιθέμενος | pa-ra-ti-thé-me-nos} ‘setting forth’, which describe the manner of Paul’s reasoning in the synagogue. These participles govern two hoti-clauses that express the doctrinal content of his explanation.
