Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} “there” points to Jerusalem as the place of judgment, while peri touton {περὶ τούτων | pe-rí toú-tōn} “concerning these things” succinctly covers the charges at issue.
In context — Acts 25:9
But Festus , wanting to grant a favor to the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Do you wish to go up to Jerusalem and be judged there concerning these matters before me?”
