Exegesis
The aorist participle apostas {ἀποστὰς | apostás}, modified by the prepositional phrase ap' auton {ἀπ’ αὐτῶν | ap' autôn}, expresses antecedent action to the main verb aphorisen {ἀφώρισεν | aphṓrisen}; he first withdraws from the hostile group and then decisively separates tous mathetas {τοὺς μαθητὰς | toús mathētás} from them.
In context — Acts 19:9
But when some were being hardened and were not believing, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he withdrew from them and separated the disciples, discussing daily in the school of Tyrannus .
