{Am I a Jew?} (m(8874)i eg(9320)Ioudaios eimi;). Proud and fine
scorn on Pilate's part at the idea that he had a personal
interest in the question. Vehement negation implied. Cf.  4:29 
for m(8874)i in a question. The gulf between Jew and Gentile yawns
wide here. {Nation} (ethnos as in  11:48-52 , rather than
laos, while both in  11:50 ). For pared(936b)an see verse  30 .
{What hast thou done?} (	i epoi(8873)as;). First aorist active
indicative of poie(935c). Blunt and curt question. "What didst thou
do?" "What is thy real crime?" John's picture of this private
interview between Pilate and Jesus is told with graphic power.
