Exegesis

The verse consists of a single coordinated clause built around two imperfect verbs, dielegeto {διελέγετο | dielégeto} ‘he was reasoning’ and epeithen {ἔπειθεν | épeithen} ‘he was persuading,’ joined by the enclitic conjunction te {τε | te}. The imperfect tense in both verbs presents the activities as ongoing or habitual, indicating a regular pattern of ministry rather than a one-time event.
