Exegesis
The contrasting element tois hypo Paulou legomenois {τοῖς ὑπὸ Παύλου λεγομένοις | toîs hypò Páulou legoménois} ‘the things being said by Paul’ combines the article with a present participle to denote ongoing speech, with hypo Paulou marking Paul as agent. This word order foregrounds human expertise before Paul’s counsel, highlighting the tension between professional advice and apostolic proclamation. English renderings preserve this comparative pattern by placing ‘more’ before the verb and ‘than’ before the contrasted phrase.
In context — Acts 27:11
But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the shipowner than by the words of Paul .
