Greek Commentary for Acts 23:22
Indirect command (oratio obliqua) after παραγγειλας paraggeilas (charging) with first aorist active infinitive of εκλαλεω ekaleō (in ancient Greek, but here only in N.T.), but construction changed to direct in rest of the sentence (oratio recta) as in Acts 1:4, “that thou hast signified these things to me” Same verb here as in Acts 23:15. This change is common in the N.T. (Robertson, Grammar, p. 1047). [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]
Kindly touch in Lysias, ut fiduciam adolescentis confirmaret (Bengel). Note genitive with the second aorist middle (indirect, to himself) of επιλαμβανω epilambanō as in Luke 8:54 with κρατησας kratēsas which see. How old the young man (νεανιας neanias) was we do not know, but it is the very word used of Paul in Acts 7:58 when he helped in the killing of Stephen, a young man in the twenties probably. See also Acts 20:9 of Eutychus. He is termed νεανισκος neaniskos in Acts 23:22. [source]
Change from direct to indirect discourse just the opposite of that in Acts 23:22. [source]
Same verb as in Acts 23:15, Acts 23:22, somewhat like our modern “indictment,” certainly accusations “against Paul” They were down on Paul and the hired barrister was prosecuting attorney. For the legal form see Oxyrhynchus Papyri, Vol. II., p. 162, line 19. [source]
Same word as in Acts 23:15, Acts 23:22; Acts 25:2 which see. [source]
