{I bring him out to you} (ag(9320)humin auton ex(935c)). Vividly
pictures Pilate leading Jesus out of the palace before the mob in
front. {That ye may know} (hina gn(9374)e). Final clause with
hina and the second aorist active subjunctive of gin(9373)k(935c),
"that ye may come to know," by this mockery the sincerity of
Pilate's decision that Jesus is innocent ( 18:38 ). It is a
travesty on justice and dignity, but Pilate is trying by a bit of
humour to turn the mob from the grip of the Sanhedrin.
