Exegesis
The verse begins with the conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} linking this statement to the preceding narrative, followed by the temporal conjunction hote {ὅτε | hóte} introducing a temporal subordinate clause: “when the blood was being poured out.”
After the temporal clause, the focus shifts to Paul’s role, introduced with kai autos {καὶ αὐτὸς | kaí autós}, where autos serves as an intensive pronoun: “I Myself.”
