Exegesis
The second participial construction ptusas {πτυσάς | pty-SÁS} ‘having spit’ precedes the aorist middle indicative hepsato {ἥψατο | Hḗ-psa-to} ‘he touched’, creating another participle-plus-main-verb chain that narrates a subsequent, distinct gesture: touching the man’s tongue, expressed by the genitive object tes glosses autou {τῆς γλώσσης αὐτοῦ | tês GLÔ-ssēs au-TOÛ}. The repetition of aorist participles followed by aorist indicatives structures the verse as a deliberate series of concrete acts leading toward healing, and the translation preserves this sequence by retaining participial forms in the formal rendering while allowing slightly more idiomatic finite verbs in the dynamic one.
In context — Mark 7:33
And having taken him aside from the crowd privately, He put His fingers into his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue.
