In Acts 10:41, the perfect passive participle modifies witnesses whom God had chosen; the APB renders the clause "witnesses having been chosen by God" and identifies them as those who ate and drank with him after he arose from the dead.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 10:41, the APB presents the participle within "witnesses having been chosen by God." This wording confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating each feature of the Greek form.
