Exegesis
The aorist verb epebalan {ἐπέβαλαν | epé-ba-lan} takes as its direct object the articular noun phrase tas kheiras {τὰς χεῖρας | tàs kheî-ras} and the indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | autôi}, forming the idiom “to lay hands on someone,” which carries a hostile or arresting sense in narrative contexts.
In context — Mark 14:46
And they laid their hands on Him and seized Him.
