Exegesis
The participial phrase eklexamenous andras {ἐκλεξαμένους ἄνδρας | ek-le-xa-mé-nous án-dras} “having selected men” functions as the object of the infinitive pempsai {πέμψαι | pémp-sai} “to send,” expressing purpose.
In context — Acts 15:25
It seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul.
