Exegesis
A second infinitival structure, echonta ti lalesai soi {ἔχοντά τι λαλῆσαί σοι | é-khon-tá ti la-lê-sai soi} literally ‘having something to speak to you’, gives the reason or purpose for the bringing. In English, the participial and infinitival chains are rendered as finite clauses and a causal or purpose construction (‘for he has something to say to you’ / ‘because he has something to tell you’) to preserve the temporal sequence and logical relationships while maintaining natural narrative flow.
In context — Acts 23:18
So then, the one who had taken him brought him to the tribune and said, “Paul the prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.”
