Exegesis

The participial noun blasphēmountas takes the accusative object tēn theon hēmōn {τὴν θεὸν ἡμῶν | tḕn the-ón hē-môn} 'our goddess', indicating the target of the alleged sacrilege. In English, the relative "who are" is supplied to render the participial clause, preserving the legal-defense tone and balanced parallelism of the Greek.

In contextActs 19:37

For you have brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers nor blasphemers of our goddess .
