Exegesis
The order auton ho Pilatos {αὐτὸν ὁ Πιλᾶτος | au-tón ho Pi-lâ-tos} places the object “him” before the subject “Pilate,” momentarily foregrounding Jesus as the one questioned.
In context — Mark 15:2
And Pilate asked Him , “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering, He said to him, “You say so.”
