Exegesis
The prepositional expression κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον {κατὰ πᾶν σάββατον | katà pân sábbaton} uses κατά with the accusative to indicate distributive time, “every Sabbath.” Syntactically, κρίναντες is best taken as a participle of means, “by judging/condemning,” explaining how they “fulfilled” the prophetic words. Thus the flow is: subject (inhabitants and rulers) + causal participle (because they did not recognize) + specification of neglected prophetic voices + participle of means (by condemning Him) + main verb (they fulfilled), highlighting the paradox that their act of rejection accomplished what was foretold.
Root and etymology

For those who dwell in Jerusalem and their rulers, not recognizing Him or the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath , by condemning Him they fulfilled them.
