Exegesis
Two nominative participles, dialegomenos {διαλεγόμενος | dialegómenos} “reasoning, discussing” and peithon {πείθων | peíthōn} “persuading,” stand in participial relationship to the main verb, describing the manner in which he was speaking boldly; they are coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaì}, presenting a dual method of dialogical reasoning and persuasive appeal.
In context — Acts 19:8
And after he entered the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, discussing and persuading about the kingdom of God .
