Greek Commentary for Acts 23:20
As if the whole nation was in the conspiracy and so in Acts 23:12. The conspirators may have belonged to the Zealots, but clearly they represented the state of Jewish feeling toward Paul in Jerusalem. [source]
Second aorist middle indicative of συντιτημι suntithēmi old verb to join together, to agree. Already this form in Luke 22:5 which see. See also John 9:22; Acts 24:9. To bring down (οπως καταγαγηις hopōs katagagēis). Very words of the conspirators in Acts 23:15 as if the young man overheard. Second aorist active subjunctive of καταγω katagō with οπως hopōs in final clause, still used, but nothing like so common as ινα hina though again in Acts 23:23 (Robertson, Grammar, p. 985). As though thou wouldest inquire Just as in Acts 23:15 except that here μελλων mellōn refers to Lysias instead of to the conspirators as in Acts 23:15. The singular is used by the youth out of deference to the authority of Lysias and so modifies a bit the scheming of the conspirators, not “absurd” as Page holds. [source]

Second aorist indicative middle of συντιτημι suntithēmi An old verb to put together and in the middle with one another. In the N.T. outside of John 9:22 only in Luke (here and Acts 23:20; Acts 24:9). Luke only mentions “money” (αργυριον argurion), but not “thirty pieces” (Matthew 26:15). [source]
First aorist active imperative of εμπανιζω emphanizō Make plain from εμπανης emphanēs chiefly in Acts. Repeated in Acts 23:22. The authority is with the chiliarch not with the Sanhedrin, but he had appealed to the Sanhedrin for advice. As though ye would judge of his case more exactly (ως μελλοντας διαγινωσκειν ακριβεστερον τα περι αυτου hōs mellontas diaginōskein akribesteron ta peri autou). ως Hōs with the participle gives the alleged reason as here. So also in Acts 23:20. Διαγνοσκω Diagnoskō old verb to distinguish accurately, only here in N.T. and Acts 24:22. Or ever come near “Before the coming near as to him.” Προ Pro and the genitive of the articular infinitive of εγγιζω eggizō with accusative of general reference. We are ready to slay him (ετοιμοι εσμεν του ανελειν αυτον hetoimoi esōmen tou anelein auton). Genitive of purpose of the articular infinitive after the adjective ετοιμοι hetoimoi (Robertson, Grammar, p. 1061). Ανελειν Anelein second aorist active of αναιρεω anaireō f0). [source]
