Exegesis
The aorist indicative elaben {ἔλαβεν | é-la-ben} functions as the main verb of this temporal clause, with the object to oxos {τὸ ὄξος | tó Óx-os} specifying what was received.
The direct object to pneuma {τὸ πνεῦμα | tó pnéu-ma} can denote “spirit” or “breath,” and the choice shapes whether the emphasis falls on His physical life-breath or His inner life. In English, the sequence of finite verbs is preserved in past tense for narrative flow (“received,” “said,” “handed over”), while the participle klinas is rendered with an English participial construction (“having bowed His head”) in the formal version and a coordinated clause (“Then He bowed His head”) in the dynamic version to maintain natural readability without losing the temporal relationship and solemn progression of the Greek.
