Exegesis

The verse opens with the circumstantial aorist participle apelthōn {ἀπελθὼν | apelthṓn} ‘having gone away’, which precedes and supports the main verb synelalēsen {συνελάλησεν | synelálēsen} ‘he conferred’. This participial construction presents the going away as a completed action that provides temporal background, best rendered with an “after/when he went away” nuance. The main finite verb synelalēsen, a compound of syn ‘with’ and laleō ‘speak’, underscores that this was a joint consultation rather than a mere announcement.
