Exegesis
The infinitive anairethēnai {ἀναιρεθῆναι | anairethênai} is an aorist passive complementary infinitive expressing the content of the request, with auton {αὐτόν | autón} as its accusative subject, referring contextually to Jesus. The English renderings bring the concessive nuance of the participial clause to the front (“though / even though”) and preserve the legal register of the accusation while clarifying the passive infinitive as a judicial execution.
In context — Acts 13:28
And though they found no cause of death in Him , they requested Pilate that He be put to death.
