Exegesis
The main verb proseuxato {προσηύξατο | pro-sē-úx-a-to} stands at the end in aorist middle, a typical narrative placement that gives the climactic action of praying prominence. In translation, the two participles are rendered with temporal and sequential nuance (“after he had said,” “he knelt down”) to make the flow of actions clear, while the prepositional phrase is expressed as “with all of them” or “with everyone” to preserve the communal emphasis.
In context — Acts 20:36
And after he had said these things, he knelt down with all of them and prayed .
