Exegesis
The prepositional phrase meta phōnēs megalēs {μετὰ φωνῆς μεγάλης | metà phōnḗs megalḗs} “with a great voice” modifies the following present participle doxazon {δοξάζων | doxázōn} “glorifying,” describing the manner in which he is glorifying rather than simply the fact that he speaks. The present participle doxazon is contemporaneous with hupestrepsen, portraying his glorifying of God as an action in progress as he returns.
In context — Luke 17:15
But one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, returned with a loud voice , glorifying God .
