Exegesis
The agents are marked by hypó tôn apostólōn kaí presbý-te-rōn {ὑπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων | hupo tôn apó-sto-lōn kaí pres-bý-te-rōn}, and their location is specified by tôn en Hierosolúmois {τῶν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις | tôn en Hierosolúmois}, situating the authoritative council in Jerusalem. The translation retains the temporal link, the continuous aspect of the imperfect verbs, and the purposive nuance of the infinitive while adjusting word order for clarity.
