Exegesis
Within the direct question, the finite verb theleis {Θέλεις | thé-leis} “do you want” governs two non-finite elements: the participle anabas {ἀναβὰς | a-na-bàs} “having gone up,” which describes the prerequisite action of traveling “to Jerusalem” (eis Hierosolyma {εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα | eis Hi-e-ro-só-ly-ma}), and the infinitive krithenai {κριθῆναι | kri-thê-nai} “to be judged,” which expresses the intended judicial outcome.
