Exegesis
The verb akousē {ἀκούσῃ | a-koú-sē} is aorist subjunctive second person singular, functioning here in a future-oriented assurance (“you will hear”), with autou {αὐτοῦ | au-toû} as the genitive object “him.” The structure juxtaposes Agrippa’s expressed, ongoing wish with Festus’s concrete assurance grounded in a specific time, which the translations render by keeping the imperfect nuance in the first statement and using a simple future sense in the promise.
In context — Acts 25:22
Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I myself was wishing to hear the man also.” And he said, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”
