Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase ep emou {ἐπʼ ἐμοῦ | ep e-mou} “before me” marks Festus as the presiding authority, indicating that, despite the change of venue, he would retain jurisdiction. In translation, the participial and infinitival constructions are reshaped into more linear English clauses (“wanting to grant a favor,” “be judged,” “have your case tried”) so that the causal motive, proposed journey, and judicial setting remain clear and closely linked.
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?”
