Exegesis
The accusative complex tous kata ta ethnē pantas Ioudaious {τοὺς κατὰ τὰ ἔθνη πάντας Ἰουδαίους | toús katà tà éthnē pántas Ioudaíous} identifies ‘all the Jews among the nations,’ where kata + accusative expresses distribution among Gentile regions.
In context — Acts 21:21
They have been informed that you teach all the Jews among the Gentiles apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children or walk in the customs.
