Exegesis
Auton {αὐτόν | auton} functions as the direct object of the blaspheming, and the circumstantial participle legōn {λέγων | legōn} ‘saying’ introduces the content of the blasphemy.
In context — Luke 23:39
But one of the criminals who were hanged was blaspheming Him, saying, “If You are the Christ , save Yourself and us.”
