Exegesis

The narrative then moves to ekraugasan {ἐκραύγασαν | e-kraú-ga-san} ‘they cried out’, followed by the participle legontes {λέγοντες | lé-gon-tes} ‘saying’, a common construction in John where the finite verb introduces the action and the participle introduces the speech content.

In contextJohn 19:6

When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw Him , they cried out, saying, “Crucify, crucify!” Pilate says to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify Him; for I find no charge in Him.”
