Exegesis
The indefinite pronoun tines {τινες | tínes} ‘some’ is defined by the genitive phrase tōn apo tēs aireseos tōn pharisaion {τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς αἱρέσεως τῶν Φαρισαίων | tôn apó tēs hairéseōs tôn Pharisaíōn} ‘of those from the sect of the Pharisees’, where apo with the genitive indicates origin and aireseos denotes a distinct party.
In context — Acts 15:5
But some who had believed, from the sect of the Pharisees, stood up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
