Exegesis
In the first clause, the verb synepeste {συνεπέστη | sy-ne-pé-stē} “rose up together,” with ho ochlos {ὁ ὄχλος | ho óch-los} “the crowd” as subject, is followed by the prepositional phrase katʼ autōn {κατʼ αὐτῶν | katá au-tôn} “against them,” marking the crowd’s hostile movement toward Paul and Silas.
The object autōn ta himatia {αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια | au-tôn tà hi-má-ti-a} “their garments” underscores the victims’ stripped clothing.
In context — Acts 16:22
And the crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore off their garments and ordered that they be beaten with rods .
