Exegesis
The nominative subject Ioudaioi {Ἰουδαῖοι | Iou-daî-oi}, together with the aorist middle participle syllabomenoi {συλλαβόμενοι | syl-la-bó-me-noi}, forms a participial clause “the Jews, having seized,” where the aorist participle denotes the seizing as a completed act that provides the setting for the main verbal action.
In context — Acts 26:21
For these reasons the Jews seized me in the temple and were trying to do away with me .
