Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis to synedrion autōn {εἰς τὸ συνέδριον αὐτῶν | eis tò synédrion autōn} gives the destination “into their council,” with the genitive auton indicating that the council belongs to “them,” the Jewish authorities. In the formal rendering, the participial construction is preserved as a fronted phrase to mirror the Greek sequence, while in the dynamic rendering it is reshaped into a causal clause with “Since I wanted” to make the logical relationship explicit in contemporary English.
