Exegesis
The adversative conjunction de in hoi de Ioudaioi {οἱ δὲ Ἰουδαῖοι | hoi de Iou-daî-oi} introduces a stark contrast: the Jewish group responds by forceful action, captured by the aorist ekraugasan {ἐκραύγασαν | ekraú-ga-san} ‘cried out’, which portrays a decisive outburst.
In context — John 19:12
From this point Pilate sought to release Him , but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you are not a friend of Caesar ; everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
