Exegesis
The coordinated object phrase kai tous loipous {καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς | kaí toùs loipoùs} ‘the rest’ identifies the survivors who remained behind. The correlative hous men …
The formula kai houtōs egéneto {καὶ οὕτως ἐγένετο | kaí hoútōs egéneto} ‘and so it happened’ introduces the result clause with the aorist passive infinitive diasōthênai {διασωθῆναι | diasōthênai} ‘to be rescued’ accompanied by the accusative pántas {πάντας | pántas} ‘all’, followed by epì tḕn gēn {ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν | epì tḕn gēn} ‘onto the land’ specifying their deliverance. The infinitive is rendered as an English finite verb to maintain readability and emphasize complete survival.
In context — Acts 27:44
And the rest did so, some on boards and others on pieces from the ship; and in this way all were saved entirely onto the land.
