Exegesis
The aorist participle anastas {ἀναστὰς | a-na-stas} precedes the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | êi-pen}, indicating Peter’s rising as adverbial circumstance, rendered by “stood”/“stood up.”
In context — Acts 15:7
After considerable contention, Peter stood and said to them, “Men, brothers, you know that from ancient days among you God chose that through my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.”
