Exegesis
The aorist participle lysas {λύσας | lý-sas} “having loosed” is adverbial and precedes its object phrase, tas odinas tou thanatou {τὰς ὠδῖνας τοῦ θανάτου | tàs ō-dí-nas toû tha-ná-tou} “the pains of death,” describing a concomitant aspect of the resurrection: in raising Jesus, God also broke death’s painful bonds. The genitive tou thanatou functions as a genitive of source or description, specifying that these pains belong to or arise from death.
In context — Acts 2:24
Whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.
