Exegesis
The main clause centers on epathen {ἔπαθεν | épathen}, a summary verb of experiencing or suffering, followed by the object phrase ouden kakon {οὐδὲν κακόν | ouden kakón}. Here ouden is a negated pronoun intensified by the adjective kakon, emphasizing the complete absence of any harmful effect. English prose prefers to convert the aorist participle plus aorist indicative construction into a temporal clause or sequential main clause; both formal and dynamic renderings preserve the order of actions (shake off, then suffer nothing) while making the implicit temporal relation explicit for modern readers.
In context — Acts 28:5
So then, after he shook the creature into the fire, he suffered no harm .
