Exegesis
The conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces a purpose (or pretextual purpose) clause, hina idomen kai pisteusomen {ἵνα ἴδωμεν καὶ πιστεύσωμεν | hína í-dō-men kaí pis-teú-sō-men}, where the coordinated aorist subjunctives “see” and “believe” express the supposed condition under which the speakers would respond in faith; the structure highlights a demand for visible proof rather than trust in the crucified Messiah.
The second sentence begins with kai hoi synestauromenoi {καὶ οἱ συνεσταυρωμένοι | kaí hoi sy-ne-stau-rō-mé-noi}, an article plus perfect passive participle functioning substantively, “those who have been crucified with,” further specified by the prepositional phrase syn auto {σὺν αὐτῷ | sýn au-tôi} “with him” to identify their solidarity in execution.
In context — Mark 15:32
Let the Christ , the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those who were crucified with Him were insulting Him.
