Exegesis
The clause then shifts with the adverb–particle combination perissōs te {περισσῶς τε | perissôs te} ‘and exceedingly’ introducing another circumstantial participle, emmainomenos {ἐμμαινόμενος | emmainómenos} ‘being enraged’, which describes Paul’s internal state as he acted ‘against them’ autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs}.
In context — Acts 26:11
And in all the synagogues I often punished them, and I compelled them to blaspheme ; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even as far as the outer cities.
