Exegesis
The accusative phrase tous ochlous {τοὺς ὄχλους | toùs óchlous} identifies the crowds as the direct object of this agitation. In translation, the temporal clause is preserved with “when,” the ḥoti-clause becomes an embedded “that”-clause after “learned/found out,” and the participial chain is rendered as coordinated finite verb phrases (“agitating and troubling,” “shaking up and unsettling”) to express ongoing disruptive activity in natural English syntax while maintaining the Greek sequence of learning, coming, and stirring up opposition.
In context — Acts 17:13
But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God had also been proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came there as well, agitating and troubling the crowds .
