Exegesis
The purpose clause introduced by hina {ἵνα | hí-na} plus the aorist subjunctive epigno {ἐπιγνῷ | e-pi-gnṓ} expresses intention “to know,” while the relative clause di hen aitian {διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν | di hḗn ai-tí-an} identifies the formal charge that motivated epephonoun {ἐπεφώνουν | e-pe-phṓ-noun}, the imperfect verb conveying the crowd’s ongoing shouting autoi {αὐτῷ | au-tôi}. English phrasing preserves the sequence of finite, infinitival, and participial clauses to maintain clarity of agency, instrument, and purpose.
In context — Acts 22:24
The commander gave orders to take him into the barracks, and said that he should be questioned under the lash, so that he might learn the reason they were shouting at him like this.
