Exegesis
The direct object tas psychas tōn ethnōn {τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν ἐθνῶν | tàs psychàs tōn ethnṓn} literally “the souls of the nations,” uses psychas to emphasize inner disposition rather than physical persons.
In context — Acts 14:2
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and made the souls of the nations hostile against the brothers.
