Exegesis
The final coordinate phrase kai heteroi syn autois {καὶ ἕτεροι σὺν αὐτοῖς | kaí hé-te-roi syn au-tois} widens the circle with “others with them,” employing syn plus the dative to stress association and shared participation. In English, the participle is rendered as a finite verb (“joined”) alongside “believed” to maintain clarity, while the relative clause is represented with “among whom” so that the named individuals remain exemplars within a larger group of new believers.
