Exegesis
The imperfect synecheon {συνέχεον | synécheon} conveys ongoing agitation of panta ton ochlon {πάντα τὸν ὄχλον | pánta tón óchlon}, and the aorist epebalon {ἐπέβαλον | epébalon} marks the decisive act of seizing (epʼ auton tas cheiras {ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας}). In translation, the temporal clause is rendered with English idioms conveying imminence, participial causality is expressed with finite verbs, and the shift from imperfect to aorist preserves the movement from disturbance to action.
In context — Acts 21:27
When the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia saw him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd, and laid hands on him.
