Exegesis
The passage opens with a sequence of aorist participles—elthon {ἐλθὼν | el-thṓn} ‘having come,’ aras {ἄρας | á-ras} ‘having taken,’ and desas {δήσας | dḗ-sas} ‘having bound’—establishing a prophetic sign-act that mirrors the future events.
In context — Acts 21:11
He came to us, took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit : ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles .’”
