Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τινες ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐπείσθησαν
some of them /were/_persuaded
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “some of the Jews believed” or “some of the Jews understood”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
τῶν & σεβομένων Ἑλλήνων
˱of˲_the_‹ones› & worshipping Greeks
Here the expression worshiping God describes Gentiles (non-Jews) who worshiped the God of Israel and attended the synagogue. See how you translated the expression in 16:14. Alternate translation: “Greeks who sincerely worshiped the God of Israel”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
οὐκ ὀλίγαι
not /a/_few
Luke is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. Alternate translation: “many”
