Exegesis
The relative clause hon zetousin apokteinai {ὃν ζητοῦσιν ἀποκτεῖναι | hon zē-toû-sin a-pok-teî-nai} functions attributively to define “this one” as the person “whom they are seeking to kill,” combining the present indicative zetousin “they are seeking” (continuous, intentional action) with the aorist infinitive apokteinai “to kill” (the intended decisive act). In translation, the relative clause is retained and the rhetorical nature of the question is preserved by English word order and punctuation, keeping the focus on the incongruity that the locally informed crowd recognizes.
