Exegesis

The verse begins with the narrative verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} followed by the inferential particle oun {οὖν | oûn} ‘therefore,’ linking Pilate’s question to the prior dialogue.

In contextJohn 18:37

Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So, You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world , to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
