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."
