Exegesis

The circumstantial aorist participle katagagōn {καταγαγών | katagagṓn} ‘having brought down’ precedes the main verb estēsen {ἔστησεν | éstēsen} ‘he set’, indicating that Paul is moved into place before the council, rendered by the prepositional phrase eis autous {εἰς αὐτούς | eis autoús}. In translation, boulomenos and katagagōn are rendered as finite subordinate clauses (“wanting to ascertain,” “then he brought Paul down and had him stand”) to reflect their causal and temporal relations naturally, and the double-article construction is mirrored by pairing “certainty” with an expression of the legal claims.
