Exegesis
The phrase makrothymos akousai mou {μακροθύμως ἀκοῦσαί μου | ma-kro-thý-mōs a-koû-sai mou} consists of an aorist infinitive governed by deomai, with the adverb makrothymos expressing the desired manner of hearing and mou marking Paul as the object. In English, the participle and genitive constructions are rendered as a causal clause followed by a main clause of entreaty, preserving the Greek sequence and rhetorical deference of the original address.
In context — Acts 26:3
Especially because you are an expert in all the customs and questions that concern the Jews, I therefore beg you to hear me patiently .
