Exegesis
The verse opens with the demonstrative houtos {οὗτός | hoû-tos} and the enclitic te {τε | te} framing the main verb erxato {ἤρξατο | ḗ-rx-a-to}, “began,” which is complemented by the infinitive parresiazesthai {παρρησιάζεσθαι | parrē-sí-az-es-thai}, “to speak boldly.”
In context — Acts 18:26
