Exegesis
The participial clause stēsantes {στήσαντες | stḗ-san-tes} ‘having set them’ functions as a temporal marker, positioning the apostles in view before the interrogation.
In context — Acts 4:7
After placing them in the middle, they questioned them: “By what power or under what name have you done this ?”
