Exegesis
The temporal participial clause touto eipon {τοῦτο εἰπὼν | toû-to ei-pṓn} functions as a resumptive step, meaning “after He had said this,” and ties the breathing act tightly to what Jesus has just spoken.
In context — John 20:22
And having said this, He breathed on them and says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit .”
