Exegesis
The imperative Staurōson {Σταύρωσον | Stau-rô-son} stands alone as a stark, forceful command at the end of the sentence, followed by the object auton {αὐτόν | au-tón}, heightening the dramatic demand for execution. In English, the imperfects are rendered with “was saying” and “kept shouting” to reflect ongoing action, while the separate interrogative “Why? What evil…?” preserves the rhetorical weight of Pilate’s protest and the adverbial perissōs is conveyed with phrases like “all the more” and “even louder” to mirror the intensification.
