Exegesis
The explanatory clause introduced by houtōs gar {οὕτως γὰρ | hoú-tōs gàr} provides the rationale, with diatetagmenos ēn {διατεταγμένος ἦν | di-a-te-tag-mé-nos ên} functioning as a periphrastic perfect, “he had arranged,” emphasizing the prior and still-effective nature of Paul’s decision.
In context — Acts 20:13
But we, having gone ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for thus he had arranged, since he himself was about to go by land .
