Exegesis
The dative recipient phrase pasi tois adelphois {πᾶσι τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς | pâsi toîs adelphoîs} ‘to all the brothers’ underlines the collective impact. English renders participial phrases as finite clauses to maintain narrative flow and sequence: commissioning, journey, detailed report, and resultant joy.
