The plural subject hoi archiereis kai hoi huperetai {οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ ὑπηρέται | hoi ar-khi-e-reîs kai hoi hy-pē-ré-tai} ‘the chief priests and the officers’ precedes the verb eidon {εἶδον | eî-don} ‘they saw’, placing emphasis on the leaders as observers and initiators.

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.”
