Exegesis
The dative pronoun autō {αὐτῷ | au-tôi} ‘to him’ refers back to Jesus, and the subject is expressed by the articular proper name ho Pilatos {ὁ Πιλᾶτος | ho Pi-lâ-tos}.
The narrative then shifts with apekrithē {ἀπεκρίθη | a-pe-kri-thê} ‘answered,’ introducing Jesus as subject through ho Iēsous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs}.
The universal application is cast through pas ho ōn ek tēs alētheias {πᾶς ὁ ὢν ἐκ τῆς ἀληθείας | pâs ho ôn ek tēs a-lē-theí-as}, where the substantival participle ho ōn {ὁ ὢν | ho ôn} ‘the one who is’ plus the prepositional phrase ‘from the truth’ denote those whose origin or allegiance is characterized by truth.
