Exegesis
The main verb parotrynan {παρώτρυναν | pa-rṓ-try-nan} introduces the first action, taking as its object the coordinated group tas sebomenas gynaikas tas euschemonas {τὰς σεβομένας γυναῖκας τὰς εὐσχήμονας | tàs se-bo-mé-nas gy-naî-kas tàs eus-chḗ-mo-nas}, a tightly bound noun phrase where participle, noun, and attributive adjective together describe “the devout, noble women.”
In context — Acts 13:50
But the Jews incited the devout women who were noble and the leading men of the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their district.
