Exegesis
The relative pronoun hoitines {οἵτινες | hoítines} introduces a qualitative relative clause describing what kind of men Paul and Barnabas were in this moment: proslalountes autois {προσλαλοῦντες αὐτοῖς | proslaloûntes autoîs} “speaking with them” is a contemporaneous participle that depicts ongoing interaction, while the imperfect epeithon autous {ἔπειθον αὐτοὺς | épeithon autoús} “they were persuading them” portrays sustained exhortation rather than a single act.
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 .
