Exegesis
The verse opens with the main clause anebaleto de autous ho Phēlix {Ἀνεβάλετο δὲ αὐτοὺς ὁ Φῆλιξ | a-ne-bá-le-to dè au-toús ho Phê-lix}, where the finite verb precedes the connective de and its object autous, followed by the subject Phēlix, foregrounding the action of postponing before naming the agent.
