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}.
In context — John 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.”
