Exegesis
The aorist participle eipōn {εἰπὼν | ei-pṓn} introduces a circumstantial clause that is temporally prior to the main verb apelysen {ἀπέλυσεν | a-pé-lu-sen} ‘he dismissed’, yielding the sense “after he had said.” This common narrative pattern of participle followed by aorist indicative compresses two sequential actions into a concise structure that English renders with a temporal clause.
Root and etymology
