Exegesis
The main clause centers on eporeuthe {ἐπορεύθη | e-po-reú-thē} “he went,” an aorist deponent verb portraying a completed movement away, followed by the adverb ekeithen {ἐκεῖθεν | e-keî-then} “from there,” which marks separation from the previous location. The Greek word order places the participial action first, highlighting that the blessing by touch precedes and completes Jesus’ interaction before His departure. In English, this temporal relationship is rendered with clauses such as “after laying” and “when He placed,” preserving both the sequence and the emphasis on His blessing before leaving.
