Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive absolute clause mē peithomenou autou {μὴ πειθομένου αὐτοῦ | mḗ pei-tho-mé-nou au-toû}, marking a circumstantial condition best rendered temporally as “Since he was not persuaded.”
In context — Acts 21:14
Since he was not persuaded , we became quiet and said, “Let the will of the Lord take place.”
