Exegesis
In the final clause, emphatic Egō {Ἐγὼ | E-gṑ} ‘I’ foregrounds Pilate’s personal assessment, negated by oudemian {οὐδεμίαν | ou-de-mí-an} ‘no, not any’ modifying aitian {αἰτίαν | ai-tí-an} ‘charge’.
In context — John 18:38
Pilate said to Him , “What is truth?” And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no charge in Him.”
