Exegesis
The sentence opens with `kai autos {καὶ αὐτὸς | kaì autòs}`, which links this action to the preceding narrative and places emphatic focus on the subject.
The participial clause `kai theis ta gonata {καὶ θεὶς τὰ γόνατα | kaì theìs tà gó-na-ta}` functions as a preparatory action before the main verb, expressing the physical posture that leads into prayer; in idiomatic English it naturally becomes kneeling or lowering to the knees.
In context — Luke 22:41
And He Himself was separated from them about the distance of a stone cast, and after lowering Himself to His knees , He prayed.
