Exegesis
Within the quotation, the negative particle Ouk {Οὐκ | Oúk} with the present middle indicative apokrinei {ἀποκρίνῃ | a-po-krí-nēi} forms a direct question that expects a response, while ouden {οὐδέν | ou-dé n} intensifies the idea by stressing the total absence of any answer.
In context — Mark 15:4
And Pilate again questioned Him , saying, “Do You not answer anything? See how many things they accuse You of.”
