Exegesis
The purpose conjunction hopos {ὅπως | hópos} introduces the clause metapempsetai auton {μεταπέμψηται αὐτὸν | metapémpsētai autón}, where the aorist middle subjunctive expresses the intended action “that he might send for him.”
The infinitive anelein {ἀνελεῖν | anelei͂n} functions as an infinitive of purpose, indicating the ultimate aim of the ambush, “to kill him,” with auton {αὐτὸν | autón} repeating the object.
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 .
