Exegesis
The verse begins with the prepositional phrase peri hou {περὶ οὗ | perì hoû} “concerning whom,” which links this statement anaphorically to the person previously mentioned and marks him as the topic of the legal action.
In context — Acts 25:15
Concerning whom, when I arrived in Jerusalem , the chief priests and the elders of the Jews made a formal charge, requesting a sentence of condemnation against him.
