ÊN DE ho le-GO-me-nos ba-ra-BBAS me-TA tôn sta-si-a-STÔN de-de-ME-nos HOI-ti-nes en têi STA-sei PHO-non pe-poi-Ê-kei-san
Exegesis
Within this clause, the prepositional phrase en tē stasei {ἐν τῇ στάσει | en tē stásei} locates their action “in the uprising,” while phonon {φόνον | phó-non} stands as the object of the pluperfect verb pepoiēkeisan {πεποιήκεισαν | pepoiḗkeisan}, yielding “they had committed murder.” The pluperfect aspect underscores that the murder was a completed act prior to the narrative present, reinforcing the seriousness and established nature of their crime. In translation, the participles ho legomenos and dedemenos are rendered as finite or descriptive clauses to maintain natural English flow, and the qualitative force of hoitines is preserved by explicitly referring back to “these men,” maintaining coherence between Barabbas, the rebels, and their violent action.
