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.
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.
