Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek mesou autōn {ἐκ μέσου αὐτῶν | ek mésou autôn} is composed of the preposition ek governing the genitive noun mesou and the genitive plural pronoun autōn, together expressing movement “out from the midst of them,” both spatially and socially. The word order—adverb, subject, verb, prepositional phrase—moves from the discourse connection (houtos) to the identified agent (ho Paulos), to the completed action (exelthen), and finally to the sphere from which he separates (ek mesou autōn). In translation, this is reflected by using “So” and “In this way” to retain the inferential force of houtos, while “went out from their midst” and “left from among them” convey the idea of Paul’s deliberate withdrawal from the group.
In context — Acts 17:33
So Paul went out from their midst .
