Exegesis
The principal verb of the reported speech, diagnōsomai ta kathʼ hymas {διαγνώσομαι τὰ καθʼ ὑμᾶς | di-ag-nô-so-mai tà kathʼ hy-mâs}, is a future middle expressing Felix’s determination to judge, with ta as a substantive and kathʼ plus hymas indicating “the matters concerning you.” The structure highlights the tension between possession of knowledge and the decision to defer judgment pending oversight by a superior officer.
In context — Acts 24:22
But Felix, knowing more exactly the things about the Way , postponed them and said, “Whenever Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide the things concerning you.”
