Exegesis
The opening demonstrative houtos {οὗτος | hoû-tos} functions as an emphatic subject followed by the imperfect verb en {ἦν | ên} and the perfect passive participle katēchēmenos {κατηχημένος | katēchēménos}, forming a periphrastic construction that conveys a completed state of instruction in tēn hodon tou kyriou {τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ κυρίου | tēn hodón tou kyríou}, where the article and genitive express a defined pattern of life established by the Lord.
In context — Acts 18:25
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord and, being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus , although he knew only the baptism of John.
