incitáis

Incitáis is a term that appears in the Vulgate translation of the Bible, specifically in the Book of Acts. It is a Latin verb, the second-person plural present active indicative of the verb incitare, meaning "to incite," "to urge on," or "to stir up."

In Acts 13:50, the verse reads "sed Iudaei concitaverunt mulieres religiosas et honestas et majores natu civitatis et incitaverunt persecutionem adversus Paulum et Barnabam et ejecerunt eos de finibus suis." This translates to "But the Jews stirred up the devout women and the honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and incited persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders." The word "incitaverunt" is the third-person plural form of the same verb, while "incitaverunt" refers to the action of inciting.

The usage of "incitáis" in this context highlights the active role of certain individuals in instigating opposition and hostility towards the apostles. It conveys a sense of deliberate provocation and the deliberate stirring up of trouble. The term emphasizes the intentionality behind the actions of those who sought to cause harm or expel the missionaries. The wider meaning of "incitare" can also encompass encouraging or animating someone to a particular course of action, which in this biblical context is used negatively.
