Exegesis
The participial clause faskontes tauta houtos ekhein {φάσκοντες ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχειν | phás-kon-tes taû-ta hoú-tōs é-khein} functions circumstantially, most naturally expressing manner or accompaniment, describing how they joined in: by verbally confirming the charges. Within this clause, faskontes, a present active participle, agrees with Ioudaioi in case, number, and gender, and introduces an indirect statement. The infinitival phrase tauta houtos ekhein takes tauta as the object of ekhein, with houtos modifying ekhein to form the idiom “to have thus,” meaning “to be so” or “to stand thus.” The structure reflects a legal setting: the Jews do not present new accusations but ratify the prior speech, emphasizing communal agreement and reinforcing the credibility of the charges through collective affirmation.
Root and etymology
faskophi–alpha–sigma–kappa–omega
