Exegesis
The discourse then moves to the main accusation with the demonstrative plus adjective houtoi pantes {οὗτοι πάντες | hoû-toi pán-tes} ‘these all’ as the subject of the present indicative prassousi {πράσσουσι | prás-sou-si} ‘are acting’, highlighting an ongoing pattern of behavior rather than a single event.
In context — Acts 17:7
Whom Jason has received, and these all are acting against the decrees of Caesar , saying there is another king, Jesus .
