Exegesis
The verse begins with the subject group οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν, where κατοικοῦντες {κατοικοῦντες | katoikoûntes} ‘dwelling’ functions as a substantival participle meaning “those who dwell,” coordinated with οἱ ἄρχοντες {ἄρχοντες | árchontes} ‘rulers’ by καί {καὶ | kaí}.
In context — Acts 13:27
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.
