Exegesis
The causal conjunction epeidē {ἐπειδὴ | epeidḗ} introduces the reason for a missional shift: apōtheisthe auton {ἀπωθεῖσθε αὐτὸν | apōtheîsthe autón} ‘you are rejecting it’ places the present middle indicative before the pronoun object, emphasizing the audience’s ongoing refusal of the message.
In context — Acts 13:46
And after Paul and Barnabas had spoken boldly, they said, “It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken to you first. But since you are rejecting it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.”
