Exegesis
The future active participle axon {ἄξων | áxōn} ‘bringing’ expresses purpose alongside the imperfect motion verb eporeuomen {ἐπορευόμην | eporeuómēn} ‘I was journeying.’
In context — Acts 22:5
As the high priest and all the council of elders bear witness to me, from whom also, having received letters to the brothers, I was journeying to Damascus to bring even those who were there, having been bound, to Jerusalem so that they might be punished .
