Exegesis
The first is sharpened by the bodily phrase eph hymas tas kheiras auton {ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν | eph hymâs tàs kheîras autṓn}, while the second is expanded by the participle paradidontes {παραδιδόντες | paradidóntes}, which moves the action from attack to formal handover.

In context — Luke 21:12
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, being brought before kings and governors for the sake of My name.
