συνεκίνησάν τε τὸν λαὸν, καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους, καὶ τοὺς γραμματεῖς
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: συνεκίνησαν Τέ τόν λαόν καί τούς πρεσβυτέρους καί τούς γραμματεῖς καί ἐπιστάντες συνήρπασαν αὐτόν καί ἤγαγον εἰς τό Συνέδριον)
Luke says that Stephen’s opponents stirred up these other groups, as if calm waters were being disturbed. He means that they said things to make them very upset with Stephen. Alternate translation: [They also said things that made the people, the elders, and the scribes very upset with Stephen]
OET-LV And they_stirred_up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having_approached, they_seized him and brought him to the council,
OET (OET-RV) So they stirred up the people and the elders and the law teachers and so they approached Stefanos and arrested him and brought him to the council chambers.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
