Exegesis
The participial clause enischyon auton {ἐνισχύων αὐτόν | en-is-chý-ōn au-tón} is adverbial, sharing the subject with ‘angel’ and expressing the manner or accompanying action of the angel’s appearance: the angel both appears and at the same time strengthens Him. The present participle enischyon highlights ongoing assistance rather than a single momentary act. In English, the main clause is rendered in standard subject–verb–object order for clarity (“an angel from heaven appeared to Him”), and the participial idea is expressed with a finite verb or an English participial phrase (“strengthening Him” / “gave Him strength”) to preserve the sense of continuous, supportive action.
Root and etymology
ischyōiota–sigma–chi–upsilon–omega
“to be strong, have strength”
In context — Luke 22:43
And an angel from heaven appeared to Him , strengthening Him.
