Exegesis
The verse opens with the temporal dative phrase tē de epiousē nykti {Τῇ δὲ ἐπιούσῃ νυκτὶ | Tēi dè epioúsē nyktí} “but on the following night,” which situates the event as the immediate continuation of the previous scene.
In context — Acts 23:11
But on the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for just as you have solemnly testified about Me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
