Exegesis
The nominative ho Paulos {ὁ Παῦλος | ho Paûlos} marks Paul as the subject, followed by the aorist indicative epepesen {ἐπέπεσεν | epépesen} ‘fell upon him’, which communicates a sudden, caring motion, and the participle symperilabōn {συμπεριλαβὼν | sym-peri-la-bṓn} ‘having embraced’, adding compassion to the preceding act.
In context — Acts 20:10
But Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and after embracing him said, “Do not be disturbed , for his soul is in him.”
