Exegesis
The direct object auton {αὐτόν | autón}, “him,” refers contextually to Jesus and is placed at the end, giving focus to the person being tested. In translation, the formal rendering preserves the participial nuance with “testing Him,” maintaining the close link between asking and intent. The dynamic rendering makes this relationship more explicit by expanding the participle into “tried to test Him by asking Him a question,” turning the participle into a finite verbal idea to clarify motive and action for contemporary readers while still reflecting the underlying Greek structure.
In context — Matthew 22:35
And one of them, a legal expert , asked Him , testing Him.
