Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros ton chiliarchon {πρὸς τὸν χιλίαρχον | pròs tón khi-lí-ar-khon} ‘to the tribune’ identifies the Roman officer as the goal of the movement.
The content of the request is expressed by the infinitive agagein {ἀγαγεῖν | a-ga-geîn} ‘to bring’, which governs the object phrase touton ton neanian {τοῦτον τὸν νεανίαν | toû-ton tón ne-a-ní-an} ‘this young man’ and the complement pros se {πρὸς σέ | pròs sé} ‘to you’.
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.”
