Exegesis
The phrase mellōn autos pezeuein {μέλλων αὐτὸς πεζεύειν | mél-lōn au-tós pe-zeú-ein} further defines that arrangement, with autos adding emphasis to his personal choice to go by land rather than by sea. In the formal reconstruction, the participial relationships and the logical sequencing of intention and explanation are closely mirrored, whereas in the dynamic reconstruction several participles are rendered as finite verbs (“went on ahead,” “planned,” “had decided”) and idiomatic expressions (“take the land route”) to yield a natural narrative flow while preserving the original order of actions and reasons.
In context — Acts 20:13
But we, having gone ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending from there to take Paul on board; for thus he had arranged, since he himself was about to go by land .
