Exegesis
The phrase ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iēsous} marks the subject explicitly, and exo {ἔξω | éxō} adds a spatial focus (“outside”) that highlights public exposure.
The deictic Idou {Ἰδοὺ | Idou} introduces a demonstrative presentation, followed by the nominal expression ho anthropos {ὁ ἄνθρωπος | ho ánthrōpos}, which functions as an exclamatory identification (“the man”) and carries rhetorical force: the figure is displayed for judgment, yet the phrasing also creates irony by reducing the mocked “king” to a mere “man.”
