Exegesis
The imperative Ide {Ἴδε | Í-de} functions deictically to draw attention, followed by the nominative phrase ho basileus hymōn {ὁ βασιλεὺς ὑμῶν | ho ba-si-leús hy-môn}, “the king of you,” where the genitive pronoun specifies possession or allegiance. In translation, the two temporal clauses are rendered as sequential background information at the start of the sentence to preserve their scene-setting function, while the historical present legei is converted to a simple past in English in the dynamic rendering for natural narration but retained as “he said” with present-style vividness preserved through punctuation and direct quotation. The imperative Ide is translated with emphatic English imperatives “Behold” and “Look” to maintain its rhetorical force and the ironic emphasis on “your King.”
In context — John 19:14
Now it was the Preparation of the Passover ; it was about the sixth hour, and he said to the Jews, “Behold, your King !”
