Exegesis
The sentence begins with alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} ‘but,’ marking contrast, followed by the aorist active imperatives anastēthi {ἀνάστηθι | anástēthi} ‘rise’ and stēthi {στῆθι | stêthi} ‘stand,’ a double command underscoring urgency.
In context — Acts 26:16
But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you as a servant and a witness both of the things you have seen of Me and of the things in which I will appear to you.
