Exegesis
The relative clause eis hon hymeis elpikate {εἰς ὃν ὑμεῖς ἠλπίκατε | eis hon hymeîs ēlpíkate} further defines Moses as the one “into whom” or “on whom” they have placed their hope. The preposition eis with the relative pronoun hon conveys the direction of trust toward Moses, and the perfect tense of elpikate highlights a settled, continuing reliance. The pronoun hymeis is explicitly stated, adding rhetorical emphasis: it is you who have done this. In translating, the existential estin plus participle is rendered with “there is one who accuses you” to preserve the focus on the identity of the accuser, while the perfect elpikate is expressed as “have placed your hope” / “have set your hope on” to carry the idea of enduring trust.
In context — John 5:45
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father ; there is one who accuses you—Moses, in whom you have placed your hope.
