Exegesis
The main verb erotesen {ἠρώτησεν | ērṓtēsen} ‘asked’ takes auton {αὐτόν | autón} ‘him’ as its direct object, and is followed by the circumstantial participle legōn {λέγων | légōn} ‘saying’, which introduces the content of the question as direct speech.
In context — Luke 23:3
And Pilate asked Him , saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And He answered him and said, “You say so.”
