Exegesis
The aorist participle peisas {πείσας | peí-sas} ‘having persuaded’ precedes the aorist finite verb metestēsen {μετέστησεν | me-té-stē-sen} ‘he turned away’, creating a participial construction that is best taken as causal or instrumental: by persuading, he caused a transfer of allegiance.
In context — Acts 19:26
And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but almost in all Asia , this Paul, having persuaded, turned away a great crowd, saying that the gods made by hands are not gods.
