Exegesis
The verse uses the aorist participle prosagagóntes {προσαγαγόντες | prosagagóntes} “having brought” to background the action before the main verb eîpan {εἶπαν | eîpan} “they said.”
In context — Acts 16:20
After bringing them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews , are throwing our city into turmoil.”
