Exegesis
The subject of the main clause is the substantival adjective polloi {πολλοὶ | pol-loí} “many,” further specified by the partitive genitive tōn Ioudaiōn {τῶν Ἰουδαίων | tôn I-ou-daí-ōn} “of the Jews,” and the verb anegnōsan {ἀνέγνωσαν | a-nég-nō-san} completes the clause “many of the Jews read.”
In context — John 19:20
Therefore, many of the Jews read this title , because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
