Exegesis
The aorist verb ēkolouthēsan {ἠκολούθησαν | ēkolouthēsan} “they followed” carries the main narrative event, with the subject expressed by the nominative polloi {πολλοὶ | polloí} “many,” further defined by the partitive genitives tōn Ioudaiōn {τῶν Ἰουδαίων | tōn Ioudaíōn} and tōn sebomenōn prosēlytōn {τῶν σεβομένων προσηλύτων | tōn seboménōn prosēlýtōn}, distinguishing native Jews and God-fearing Gentile converts.
In context — Acts 13:43
And after the synagogue had been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking with them, were persuading them to continue in the grace of God .
