Exegesis
Finally, the temporal frame apo prōi heōs hesperas {ἀπὸ πρωῒ ἕως ἑσπέρας | a-PO PRŌ-ï HE-ōs he-SPE-ras} underscores the intensive, day-long nature of this exposition. In English, the participial structure is rendered with temporal and progressive clauses (“After they had set a day,” “he was explaining and solemnly testifying”), preserving both the sequence of events and the sustained effort of Paul’s teaching and persuasion.
In context — Acts 28:23
After they had set a day for him, they came to him at his lodging in greater numbers. To them he was explaining and solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God , persuading them concerning Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
