Acts 6:6

6:6 They stood these men before the apostles, who prayed ¹  and placed ²  their hands on them.

¹ tn Literally this is a participle in the Greek text (προσευξάμενοι, proseuxamenoi). It could be translated as a finite verb (“and they prayed and placed their hands on them”) but much smoother English results if the entire coordinate clause is converted to a relative clause that refers back to the apostles.

² tn Or “laid.”
