Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros allelous {πρὸς ἀλλήλους | pròs allḗlous} with the reciprocal pronoun emphasizes that the disagreement is mutual. The main narrative event is expressed by the imperfect apelyonto, conveying ongoing or developing departure, rendered with “began to leave” / “started to leave” in English to suggest a process rather than a single instant.
The prepositional phrase pros tous pateras hemon {πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν | pròs toús patéras hēmôn} identifies the original audience, “our fathers,” connecting the current hearers with their ancestral generation. English rendering converts the participial and genitive-absolute structures into subordinate temporal clauses and uses direct quotation after “one statement” to keep the discourse flow clear while preserving the hierarchy of clauses and the emphasis on the Spirit’s authoritative speech through Scripture.
In context — Acts 28:25
But as they were disagreeing with one another, they began to leave after Paul had spoken one statement : “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers.”
