Exegesis
Finally, the coordinated object andras te kai gynaikas {ἄνδρας τε καὶ γυναῖκας | án-dras te kaí gu-naî-kas} uses te…kai to stress inclusiveness, highlighting that both men and women were targeted. English rendering converts the participial chain into coordinated finite verbs (“binding and handing over,” “tying up and sending”) and preserves the climactic structure from identity (“this Way”) to extent (“as far as death”) and method (“binding…handing over”) to scope (“both men and women”).
In context — Acts 22:4
I myself persecuted this Way as far as death, binding and handing over to prisons both men and women .
