Exegesis
The object auton {αὐτὸν | au-tón} marks Jesus as the one being interrogated, while the dative phrase en logois hikanois {ἐν λόγοις ἱκανοῖς | en ló-gois hi-ka-noîs} functions as a dative of means, conveying that the questioning was carried out “with many words,” suggesting intensity and length.
In context — Luke 23:9
And he was questioning Him with many words , but He Himself answered him nothing.
