Exegesis
The main clause opens with eîpen {εἶπεν | eîpen} ‘he said’ followed by the prepositional phrase pròs tòn hestôta hekatóntarchon {πρὸς τὸν ἑστῶτα ἑκατόνταρχον | pròs tòn hestôta hekatóntarchon} ‘to the centurion standing by’, where hestôta {ἑστῶτα | hestôta} ‘standing’ situates the centurion’s posture.
In context — Acts 22:25
But when they had stretched him out with the straps, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and uncondemned ?”
