Exegesis
The narrative then shifts with legei {λέγει | légei} ‘he says’, a historical present that brings Pilate’s speech into vivid focus, as he speaks to autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} ‘to them’.
In context — John 19:15
Therefore, those cried out, “Take him away, take him away, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar .”
