Exegesis
The two imperfect verbs, euxanen {ηὔξανεν | eúx-a-nen} “was increasing” and ischyuen {ἴσχυεν | ís-chy-en} “was prevailing,” appear in coordination with kai {καὶ | kaí}, forming a compound verbal predicate that portrays continuous, ongoing expansion and victorious effectiveness. English word order follows the Greek progression from summarizing adverb, to manner, to subject, to process (“was growing and prevailing”), preserving both the durative aspect of the verbs and the emphasis on the powerful advance of the Lord’s word.
In context — Acts 19:20
In this manner the word of the Lord was growing and prevailing with power .
