    In Acts 22:24, the present passive infinitive occurs in the order that the man be examined with whips so that the cause of the shouting might be learned. In Acts 22:29, the present active infinitive identifies those who were about to conduct that questioning before they withdrew.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "questioned" in Acts 22:24 and "about to question him" in Acts 22:29. These renderings confirm the scene's overall presentation rather than establish a finer distinction.
