KAI e-LA-lê-san au-TOI ton LO-gon tou KY-ree-ou syn PA-si tois en têi oi-KEE-a au-TOU
Exegesis
The preposition syn {σύν | sún} ‘with’ governs the dative phrase syn pasi tois en te oikia autou {σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ | sún pâsi toîs en têi oikíāi autoû}, expressing association with “all those in his house.”
The substantival article tois {τοῖς | toîs} ‘the’ effectively functions as “the ones,” and the prepositional phrase en {ἐν | en} ‘in’ te oikia autou conveys location. The formal reconstruction mirrors these dative constructions to preserve the Greek focus on both the jailer and his household as hearers, while the dynamic rendering unfolds the associative structure into an explicit clause to show that the household also heard the proclamation.
