Exegesis
The aorist indicative anebēn {ἀνέβην | a-né-bēn} provides the historical action, and the future participle proskunēsōn {προσκυνήσων | pros-ku-nē-sōn} functions as a purpose participle, “in order to worship.”
In context — Acts 24:11
You are able to ascertain that only twelve days have elapsed since I ascended to Jerusalem to worship .
