Exegesis
The plural subjects prophētai kai didaskaloi {προφῆται καὶ διδάσκαλοι | pro-phê-tai kaí di-dás-ka-loi} introduce two groups of recognized leaders, with coordination by kai indicating a combined leadership team rather than separate assemblies.
The correlative structure ho te Barnabas kai Symeōn {ὅ τε Βαρναβᾶς καὶ Συμεὼν | ho te Bar-na-bâs kaí Sy-me-ōn} uses ho … te … kai to signal “both Barnabas and Simeon” as a unit within the list.
