Exegesis
The main finite verb ekeleusa {ἐκέλευσα | ekéleusa} ‘I commanded’ carries the core action of the sentence and governs the complementary infinitive achthēnai {ἀχθῆναι | achthênai} with its object ton andra {τὸν ἄνδρα | tón ándra} ‘the man’, expressing what was ordered to happen. In English, the chain of participles is rendered as coordinated finite clauses and subordinate phrases to maintain readability while preserving the original emphasis on immediacy (no delay, next day) and formal judicial procedure (seated on the tribunal, issuing a command).
In context — Acts 25:17
Therefore, when they had come together here, without making any delay , on the next day, having taken my seat upon the tribunal , I commanded the man to be brought.
