Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi tous podas sou {ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας σου | epì toùs pódas sou} ‘on your feet’ shifts Paul from prostration to readiness.
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.
