Exegesis
In the final clause, the object apokrisin {ἀπόκρισιν | apókrisin} is placed before the verb, apokrisin ouk edoken autō {ἀπόκρισιν οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ | apókrisin ouk édōken autô}, fronting “answer” for emphasis and making His silence the focal point.
The negation ouk {οὐκ | ouk} directly preceding edoken intensifies the denial of any reply. The formal reconstruction preserves the historical present “says” and the marked word order by explicitly highlighting the withheld “answer,” while the dynamic reconstruction smooths the narrative flow into standard past tense and explicates praitorion with a culturally meaningful equivalent.
In context — John 19:9
And he entered into the praetorium again and says to Jesus , “From where are you?” But Jesus gave him no answer .
