Exegesis
The verse begins with the participial phrase epithentos autois tou Paulou cheiras {ἐπιθέντος αὐτοῖς τοῦ Παύλου χεῖρας | epithéntos autoîs tou Paúlou kheîras}, functioning as a genitive absolute that sets the temporal backdrop: “when Paul had placed his hands on them.” Within this construction, epithentos is the governing participle, Paulou supplies the genitive subject, cheiras is the internal object of the participle, and autois is a dative complement indicating the recipients of the action.
In context — Acts 19:6
And when Paul had placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they were speaking in tongues and prophesying.
