Exegesis
The genitive hēmôn {ἡμῶν | hēmôn} with tēn pólin {τὴν πόλιν | tēn pólin} “our city” underscores communal property and alarm. The formal reconstruction reflects the participial structure and forensic tone of the Greek, while the dynamic version streamlines the sequence for readability without losing the accusatory force.
In context — Acts 16:20
After bringing them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews , are throwing our city into turmoil.”
