Exegesis
Finally, the infinitive sullabein {συλλαβεῖν | syllabeîn} “to seize, arrest” expresses purpose, with the object me {με | me} “me” placed at the end for emphasis, underlining the irony that such force is being used against Jesus.
In context — Mark 14:48
And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber , with swords and clubs to seize Me?”
