Exegesis
The interrogative pronoun ti {Τί | Tí} “what,” joined with the inferential oun {οὖν | oûn}, frames the deliberative clause thelete {θέλετε | thé-le-te} poieso {ποιήσω | poi-ḗ-sō}, “what do you want me to do,” preserving the subjunctive’s deliberative force.
In context — Mark 15:12
But Pilate answered them again and was saying, “What then do you want me to do to the one whom you call the King of the Jews?”
