Exegesis
The verse begins with a genitive absolute mellontos {μέλλοντος | mél-lon-tos} ‘as Paul was about to begin,’ which sets a temporal frame for the interruption.
In context — Acts 18:14
As Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “If this were a case of wrongdoing or a serious evil act, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to bear with you.”
