Exegesis
The aorist elalēsen {ἐλάλησεν | elálēsen} ‘spoke’ presents Jesus’ earlier words as a completed whole, while the aorist participle eparas {ἐπάρας | epáras} ‘having lifted up’ adds an attendant action that moves the scene from speech to prayerful posture.
In context — John 17:1
Having spoken these things, Jesus raised His eyes to heaven and said, “Father , the hour has come; glorify Your Son , so that the Son may glorify You.”
