Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tē ennomō ekklēsia {ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ | en tē en-nó-mō ek-klē-sí-āi} ‘in the lawful assembly’ specifies both the proper location and the legally constituted nature of the body competent to handle such matters, contrasting sharply with the unruly mob in the wider narrative context.
