Exegesis
The main clause, katebē houtos dedikaiomenos eis ton oikon autou {κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ | ka-té-bē hoú-tos de-di-kai-ō-mé-nos eis ton oi-kon au-toû}, combines an aorist indicative with a perfect passive participle. This pairing suggests a completed act of justification preceding the descent, with the participle functioning adjectivally to describe houtos “this one.”
