Exegesis
The coordinated datives te arche kai te exousia {τῇ ἀρχῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ | tē ar-khē kaí tē ex-ou-sí-a} ‘to the rule and the jurisdiction’ underscore the scope of Roman civil authority, while tou hegemonos {τοῦ ἡγεμόνος | toû hē-ge-mó-nos} ‘of the governor’ specifies the official empowered to try Him. This structure traces a calculated progression from surveillance through entrapment to judicial transfer.
