Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase kata tēn hodon {κατὰ τὴν ὁδόν | katá tḗn hodón} describes the location and circumstance, “along the road,” adding a vivid spatial detail to the plot. The formal reconstruction closely mirrors the participial structure with “were asking” and “making,” while the dynamic version reshapes the participles into temporal and manner clauses (“hoping,” “secretly planning”) to clarify the sequence and covert nature of the scheme in contemporary English.
In context — Acts 25:3
They were asking a favor against him so that he might send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to kill him along the road .
