Exegesis
The participial clause anastantes tines {ἀναστάντες τινὲς | anastántes tinés} ‘some having stood up’ portrays sudden action, and the genitive sequence tôn grammatéōn toû mérous tôn Pharisaiōn {τῶν γραμματέων τοῦ μέρους τῶν Φαρισαίων | tôn grammatéōn toû mérous tôn Pharisaiōn} specifies these scribes as aligned with the Pharisee faction.
In context — Acts 23:9
And there arose a great uproar , and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees stood up and were contending, saying, “We find nothing evil in this man; but what if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?”
