Exegesis
The main verb parekálesen {παρεκάλεσεν | parekálesen} ‘she urged’ takes the participle légousa {λέγουσα | légousa} ‘saying’ to introduce direct discourse.
In context — Acts 16:15
After she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord , come into my house and stay.” And she strongly persuaded us.
