Exegesis
Inside the quoted speech, the accusative phrase ton neanian touton {τὸν νεανίαν τοῦτον | tón ne-a-NÍ-an TOU-ton} places “this young man” in a marked position before the imperative apage {ἄπαγε | Á-pa-ge} ‘take’ to highlight him as the focus of the command.
In context — Acts 23:17
But Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, “Take this young man to the commander , for he has something to report to him.”
