Exegesis
This verb governs the complementary infinitive diacheirisasthai {διαχειρίσασθαι | di-a-khei-rí-sa-sthai}, which states the intended result: “to do away with, kill.” In English, the cause–agent–action sequence is retained by beginning with “For these reasons/Because of this,” followed by the subject “the Jews,” then expressing the participial action as a finite verb (“seized/grabbed”) for smoother style, while the imperfect attempt plus infinitive is rendered as “were trying to do away with me” or “tried to kill me,” preserving the sense of intent rather than accomplished fact.
Root and etymology
kheirchi–epsilon–iota–rho
