Exegesis
The plural subject tines {τινες | tínes} is followed by two imperfect verbs, esklerynonto {ἐσκληρύνοντο | esklērýnonto} and epeithoun {ἠπείθουν | ēpeíthoun}, which describe an ongoing process of internal hardening and active refusal to be persuaded.
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 .
