Exegesis
A chain of nominative masculine plural participles—peisantes {πείσαντες | peí-san-tes} and lithasantes {λιθάσαντες | li-thá-san-tes}—presents their actions in sequence as backgrounded circumstances leading up to the imperfect main verb esuron {ἔσυρον | é-su-ron} “they were dragging,” which carries the narrative foreground.
In context — Acts 14:19
But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and after persuading the crowds and stoning Paul, they dragged him outside the city, assuming him to be dead.
