John 19:15

Οἱ δὲ ἐκραύγασαν, Ἆρον, ἆρον, σταύρωσον αὐτόν. Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Πιλάτος, Τὸν βασιλέα ὑμῶν σταυρώσω; Ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, Οὐκ ἔχομεν βασιλέα εἰ μὴ Καίσαρα.

A Worship Service

Therefore they clamored [like animals] to those ones, Lift Up! Lift Up! Stake himself! The Javelin is saying to themselves "Will I stake the King of Yourselves?"¹¹⁸The High Priests separated, "We are not holding a king except Caesar ("Dictator in Perpetuity").

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And they cried, Take away, take away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

LITV Translation:
But they cried out, Away, Away! Crucify him! Pilate said to them, Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered, We have no king except Caesar.

ESV Translation:
They cried out, “Away with him, away with him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”

Greek σταυρώσω. I will stake down / crucify. 

Thayer's Greek Lexicon: STRONGS NT 4717: σταυρόω σταυρόω, σταυρῷ; future σταυρώσω; 1 aorist ἐσταυρωσα; passive, present σταύρομαι; perfect ἐσταύρωμαι; 1 aorist ἐσταυρωθην; (σταυρός,

This could be either Future or Subjunctive, as they are both spelled the same.

Let's break down the difference in syntax between the future active indicative form and the aorist subjunctive active form:

1. Future Active Indicative - I will stake-down:

   • "σταυρώσω" (staurōsō) is the first person singular form of the future tense.
   • The future tense indicates an action that will occur at a later time, in this case, the action of "crucifying."
   • The indicative mood indicates a statement of fact or certainty. In this form, the speaker is declaring their intention to perform the action of crucifying.

2. Aorist Subjunctive Active - I may stake-down:

   • The aorist tense generally refers to a completed action in past time, though it can also express undefined or unspecified action.
   • The subjunctive mood typically expresses possibility, potentiality, or uncertainty.
   • "σταυρώσω" (staurōsō) can indeed be the first person singular form of the aorist subjunctive active
   • In this case, the aorist subjunctive active form would express a hypothetical or potential action of crucifying, often used in conditional or indirect statements.
