Exegesis
The preposition pros {πρὸς | pròs} governs two coordinated accusative objects, tous archiereis {τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς | toûs ar-khi-e-reîs} and tous ochlous {τοὺς ὄχλους | toûs ókh-lous}, joined by kai {καὶ | kaí}, indicating that Pilate addresses both the religious leaders and the gathered people.
In context — Luke 23:4
Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no charge in this man.”
