- sentence
e-GÔ eis TOU-to ge-GEN-nê-mai kai eis TOU-to e-LÊ-ly-tha eis ton KOS-mon HI-na mar-ty-RÊ-sô têi a-lê-THEI-a PAS ho ÔN ek tês a-lê-THEI-as a-KOU-ei mou tês phō-NÊS
Exegesis
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.
The present indicative akouei {ἀκούει | a-koú-ei} ‘hears’ with the genitive mou tēs phōnēs {μου τῆς φωνῆς | mou tēs phō-nês} ‘My voice’ portrays ongoing, responsive listening to Jesus’ authoritative word. The English renderings preserve the purpose structure of the hina clause, the parallelism of eis touto…kai eis touto, and the contrast between Pilate’s political question and Jesus’ revelatory mission.
