Exegesis
The verb pherete {φέρετε | pherete} takes that charge as its object, while kata tou anthropou toutou {κατὰ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τούτου | kata tou anthropou toutou} uses kata with the genitive to mark opposition and to identify the man as the target of the accusation. English renderings preserve this judicial force by keeping the movement explicit and by recasting the Greek noun phrase into a direct legal question.
