Exegesis
The verse opens with the coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} linking this scene to the surrounding crucifixion narrative.
The coordinated kai hoi archontes {καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες | kaí hoi ár-khon-tes} specifies the subject, and the participle legontes {λέγοντες | lé-gon-tes} ‘saying’ introduces the content of their ongoing mockery as direct speech.
