Exegesis
The coordinated participle eidōs {εἰδὼς | eidṓs} ‘knowing’ adds a second circumstance, forming a balanced pair of participles that explain why he could speak about the future: he both is a prophet and knows something specific.
In context — Acts 2:30
Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one from the fruit of his loins upon his throne.
