Exegesis
The preposition eis {εἰς | eis} “into” intensifies the direction of the gaze toward the object, which is specified by the relative clause hon exekentesan {ὃν ἐξεκέντησαν | hon ex-e-kén-te-san} “whom they pierced.” The aorist verb exekentesan depicts the piercing as a completed act of violence in the past, while the future verb opsontai projects a later confrontation with that past deed. In translation, “look at” and “gaze on” convey both the directional force of eis and the contemplative aspect of opsontai, and the clause structure is preserved so that the prophetic declaration remains vivid and declarative.
