Exegesis
The main assertion is expressed with the imperfect indicative in a conditional construction: Ouk eiches exousian kat’ emou oudemian {Οὐκ εἶχες ἐξουσίαν κατʼ ἐμοῦ οὐδεμίαν | Ouk eî-khes ex-ou-sí-an kat’ e-mou ou-de-mí-an}. Here the placement of the negation Ouk and the adjective oudemian ‘none’ intensifies the absolute denial of independent authority, while kat’ emou ‘against Me’ specifies the direction of that authority.
In context — John 19:11
Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority against Me at all unless it had been given to you from above; because of this, the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”
