Exegesis
The complementary infinitive epitheinai zygon {ἐπιθεῖναι ζυγόν | e-pi-theî-nai zygón} specifies the action of imposing, localized by epi ton trachelon {ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον | e-pí tón trá-khē-lon} “on the neck” with matheton {μαθητῶν | ma-thē-tôn} “of the disciples” in the genitive.
In context — Acts 15:10
Now then, why are you testing God by setting a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we had strength to bear?
