Exegesis
The prepositional phrase peri zētēmatōn tou nomou autōn {περὶ ζητημάτων τοῦ νόμου αὐτῶν | perì zētēmatōn tou nómou autôn} specifies the sphere of the accusations, “concerning questions of their law,” with the genitive tou nomou autōn marking the law as belonging to “them” and highlighting its distinctly Jewish character.
In context — Acts 23:29
Whom I found being accused concerning questions about their law, but having no charge worthy of death or imprisonment .
