Exegesis

The explanatory clause introduced by gar {γάρ | gar} ‘for’ states Pilate’s rationale: ego gar ouch heurisko {ἐγὼ γὰρ οὐχ εὑρίσκω | e-gṓ gar oukh heu-rís-kō} ‘for I do not find’, followed by the prepositional phrase en auto {ἐν αὐτῷ | en au-tôi} ‘in him’ and the object aitian {αἰτίαν | ai-tí-an} ‘charge’. This structure underscores both the crowd’s insistence and Pilate’s judicial declaration of the absence of a legal basis for execution.

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.”
