Exegesis
The verse opens with the temporal phrase meta de pente hemeras {μετὰ δὲ πέντε ἡμέρας | metà dè pén-te hē-mé-ras} “after five days,” where the particle de {δὲ | dè} lightly connects this scene to the previous narrative while the preposition meta with the accusative of time indicates duration before the next event.
In context — Acts 24:1
After five days the high priest Ananias went down with some elders and a spokesman named Tertullus . These men presented their case to the governor against Paul .
