Exegesis
The second impersonal verb sunebe {συνέβη | sy-né-bē} ‘it happened’ governs the infinitive bastazesthai {βαστάζεσθαι | bas-tá-ze-sthai} ‘to be carried,’ forming a periphrastic necessity construction.
In context — Acts 21:35
When he reached the steps, it happened that the soldiers had to carry him because of the violence of the crowd .
