“And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.”
So Pilate asked Jesus, are you the king of the Jews? Yes, it is as you say, Jesus replied — are you the king of the Jews: the Roman governor's question translates the Sanhedrin's Messiah into the Roman political category. Yes, it is as you say (sy legeis, you yourself are saying it): the indirect affirmation — the same formula as before the Sanhedrin.
