Exegesis
The aorist indicative eipan {εἶπαν | eîpan} introduces direct speech, with the dative hymin {Ὑμῖν | Hymîn} ‘to you’ specifying the Jewish audience in the synagogue.
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.”
