Exegesis
The verse begins with the conjunction kai {καὶ | kaì} paired with the interjection idou {ἰδοὺ | ì-doù} ‘behold,’ marking a narrative shift.
The clause kai mē dynamenē anakypsai eis to panteles {καὶ μὴ δυναμένη ἀνακύψαι εἰς τὸ παντελές | kaì mē dy-na-mé-nē a-na-kýp-sai eis tò pan-te-lḗs} presents an infinitival inability, where panteles in the accusative conveys totality. The sequence of participles and the imperfect plus infinitive highlights her chronic condition and total incapacity.
In context — Luke 13:11
And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and was not able to straighten up completely .
