It helps to have the text before one's eyes: THi DEXIAi OUN TOU QEOU  
hUYWQEIS, THN TE EPAGGELIAN TOU PNEUMATOS TOU hAGIOU LABWN PARA TOU  
PATROS, EXECEEN TOUTO hO hUMEIS BLEPETE KAI AKOUETE.

Both participles are to be construed implicitly with IHSOUS, the  
object indicated in the immediately preceding text: TOUTON TON IHSOUN  
ANESTHSEN hO QEOS, hOU PANTES hHMEIS ESMEN MARTURES. "He then,  
inasmuch as he has been elevated to the right hand of God and has  
received the promised Holy spirit from the Father, has poured out  
this (spirit) as you see and hear."
