Exegesis
The relative clause hon legete ton basilea ton Ioudaion {ὃν λέγετε τὸν βασιλέα τῶν Ἰουδαίων | hon lé-ge-te ton ba-si-lé-a tôn I-ou-daí-ōn} identifies the one in question by the title “the King of the Jews,” with legete serving as a characterizing verb of their speech. English renders the participial construction as “answered and was saying” and maintains the direct question’s immediacy, positioning the disputed title at the close for emphasis on Jesus’ contested kingship.
