Exegesis
The closing prophetic formula legei kyrios poiōn tauta {λέγει κύριος ποιῶν ταῦτα | lé-gei ký-rios poi-ōn taû-ta} presents the Lord as the speaker, with the participle poiōn attributively depicting ongoing divine action. English rendering preserves the purpose clause, the coordinated subject, and the final divine declaration with its emphasis on present fulfillment.
In context — Acts 15:17
So that the remnant of mankind might seek the Lord , and all the nations upon whom My Name has been called, says the Lord, who is doing these things.
