Exegesis

The final apposition prototaten te tēs tōn Nazoraion haireseos {πρωτοστάτην τε τῆς τῶν Ναζωραίων αἱρέσεως | prō-to-stá-tēn te tês tōn Na-zō-raí-ōn hai-ré-se-ōs} identifies him as “ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,” where haireseos specifies the social group and Nazoraion names its origin. The English reconstruction breaks the flow of stacked accusatives into clear clauses (“to be…, stirring…, and acting…”) while preserving the Greek’s cumulative intensity.

In contextActs 24:5

For we have found this man to be a pestilence : he incites uprisings among all the Jews throughout the inhabited world, and he is a leading figure of the sect of the Nazarenes.
