Exegesis
The coordinated accusatives Ioudaious kai Hellēnas {Ἰουδαίους καὶ Ἕλληνας | Ioudaíous kaí Héllēnas} function as the objects of persuasion, presenting two distinct audience groups within the synagogue and highlighting the inclusive outreach of the speaker’s efforts. In translation, the formal rendering preserves the habitual aspect with “would engage” and “seeking to persuade,” while the dynamic rendering uses “would discuss” and “trying to convince” to convey conversational effort in contemporary English.
In context — Acts 18:4
On every Sabbath he would engage in careful discussion in the synagogue, seeking to persuade Jews and Greeks .
