Exegesis
The direct discourse is structured with fronted objects followed by first person verbs: Ton Iesoun ginosko {Τὸν Ἰησοῦν γινώσκω | Tòn Iēsoun ginṓskō} “Jesus I know” and kai ton Paulon epistamai {καὶ τὸν Παῦλον ἐπίσταμαι | kaì tòn Paûlon epístamai} “and Paul I am acquainted with.” The object–verb order places emphasis on the persons known, not merely on the mental action.
In context — Acts 19:15
But the evil spirit answered and said to them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I am acquainted with, but who are you?”
