Exegesis
The phrases pros tous apostolous kai presbyterous {πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ πρεσβυτέρους | pròs toús a-po-stó-lous kaí pres-byu-té-rous} and eis Hierosoluma {εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα | eis Hi-e-ro-só-ly-ma} specify the addressees and destination, and peri tou zetematos toutou {περὶ τοῦ ζητήματος τούτου | pe-rí tou zē-tḗ-ma-tos toú-tou} defines the topic of inquiry. In rendering, the genitive absolute becomes a temporal clause (“when … had arisen”/“since … became serious”), etaxan is preserved as “appointed” in the formal version to reflect official designation, and “it was decided” in the dynamic version conveys communal resolution more naturally.
In context — Acts 15:2
When significant dissension and debate broke out between Paul, Barnabas, and the others, the church appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others from their group to go up to the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem concerning this matter .
