Exegesis
The coordinated subject ho archiereus kai pan to presbyterion {ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς καὶ πᾶν τὸ πρεσβυτέριον | ho archiereús kaí pân tò presbytérion} names the high priest and the entire council of elders as the validating witnesses, governed by the present active indicative verb martyrei {μαρτυρεῖ | martyreî} ‘bears witness.’
In context — Acts 22:5
As the high priest and all the council of elders bear witness to me, from whom also, having received letters to the brothers, I was journeying to Damascus to bring even those who were there, having been bound, to Jerusalem so that they might be punished .
