Exegesis
The narrative then shifts to reported speech with eipon te pros {εἶπόν τε πρὸς | eipón te pròs}, where eipon is coordinated by te, forming a tight link between the inward conviction and the outward question posed to identified leaders.
The prepositional phrase pros ton Petron kai tous loipous apostolous {πρὸς τὸν Πέτρον καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς ἀποστόλους | pròs tòn Pétron kaí toùs loipoùs apostólous} specifies the direction of the inquiry, highlighting Peter while including the remaining apostles as authoritative witnesses.
In context — Acts 2:37
Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart , and they said to Peter and the other apostles , “Men and brothers, what should we do?”
