Exegesis
The following prepositional phrase meta presbyterōn tinōn {μετὰ πρεσβυτέρων τινῶν | metà pres-bu-té-rōn ti-nôn} uses meta with the genitive to express accompaniment, modified by the indefinite tinōn “some,” indicating that a select group of elders participated rather than the whole council.
