Exegesis
This is expanded by the coordinated participial phrase kai mellonta anaireisthai hypʼ autōn {καὶ μέλλοντα ἀναιρεῖσθαι ὑπʼ αὐτῶν | kaí méllonta anaireîsthai hypʼ autōn} “and being about to be killed by them,” both agreeing in case, gender, and number with the accusative object.
In context — Acts 23:27
This man, having been seized by the Jews and being about to be killed by them, I came with the army and rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman citizen .
