Exegesis
A sequence of aorist participles—eiselthōn {εἰσελθὼν | ei-sel-thṓn}, proseuxamenos {προσευξάμενος | pro-se-u-xá-me-nos}, epitheis {ἐπιθεὶς | e-pi-theís}—leads to the main verb iasato {ἰάσατο | i-á-sa-to}, marking a progression of actions culminating in healing. In translation, these participles are rendered with finite verbs (“went in,” “prayed,” “laid,” “healed”) to maintain narrative flow and highlight healing as the climax of Paul’s ministry.
In context — Acts 28:8
Now it happened that the father of Publius lay sick, afflicted with fevers and dysentery. Paul went in to him and, after praying , laid his hands on him and healed him.
