Exegesis
The participial phrase pollēn echontes en heautois syzētēsin {πολλὴν ἔχοντες ἐν ἑαυτοῖς συζήτησιν | pollḕn échontes en heautoîs syzḗtēsin} “having much discussion among themselves” qualifies their departure, where pollēn intensifies syzētēsin, echontes denotes active engagement, and en heautois highlights that the debate was internal to the group. The English rendering mirrors this by using a temporal clause, a direct verb‐subject sequence, and an accompanying participial phrase to preserve both action and nuance.
In context — Acts 28:29
And when he had said these things, the Jews departed , having much discussion among themselves.
