Exegesis
The subordinate hina {ἵνα | hí-na} ‘so that’ introduces the aorist passive subjunctive staurothē {σταυρωθῇ | stau-rō-THĒ} ‘he might be crucified’, explicitly stating the purpose of the handing over. The passive voice omits the agents, keeping the narrative focus on Jesus and the unfolding of divine purpose rather than on human perpetrators.
