Exegesis
The verse consists of a chain of aorist participles, anagnous {ἀναγνοὺς | a-na-gnoùs}, eperotesas {ἐπερωτήσας | e-pe-rō-tḗ-sas}, and pythomenos {πυθόμενος | py-thó-me-nos}, all nominative masculine singular, sharing the same implied subject, the governor identified in the previous verse. These participles function temporally and sequentially, describing successive procedural steps: first reading the letter, then conducting an inquiry, and finally reaching an informed conclusion.
In context — Acts 23:34
