Exegesis
Petros {Πέτρος | Pét-ros} is the nominative subject, followed by the aorist passive participle plestheis {πλησθεὶς | plē-stheìs} “having been filled,” which carries a causal force: Peter speaks because of this Spirit filling.
In context — Acts 4:8
Then Peter , filled with the Holy Spirit , said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders.”
