Exegesis
The dative phrase tois Ioudaiois {τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις | toîs I-ou-daí-ois} “to the Jews” identifies the beneficiaries of the favor, while charin {χάριν | chá-rin} “favor” functions as the object of the infinitive.
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?”
