Exegesis
The purpose clause introduced by hina {ἵνα | HÍ-na} contains the subjunctive echosin {ἔχωσιν | É-kho-sin}, expressing intended result, and governs the infinitive kategorein {κατηγορεῖν | ka-tē-go-REIN} with its genitive object autou {αὐτοῦ | au-TOÛ}, yielding the sense “so that they might have {something} to accuse Him of,” a legal, adversarial nuance.
In context — John 8:6
But this they were saying, testing Him, so that they might have something with which to accuse Him. But Jesus , having stooped down, was writing with His finger on the ground, not paying attention to them.
