Exegesis
The prepositional phrase kata tas synagogas {κατὰ τὰς συναγωγὰς | ka-tá tas su-na-gō-gás} ‘throughout the synagogues’ indicates distribution, and the substantive participle tous pisteuontas {τοὺς πιστεύοντας | tous pis-teú-on-tas} ‘the believing ones’ names the victims.
In context — Acts 22:19
And I said, “Lord , they themselves know that I was imprisoning and beating in the synagogues those who believe in You.”
