Exegesis
The verse opens with the circumstantial participial clause epignontes de hoti Ioudaios estin {ἐπιγνόντες δὲ ὅτι Ἰουδαῖός ἐστιν | epignóntes dé hóti Ioudaîos estín}, where the aorist participle epignontes indicates prior recognition that triggers the ensuing action. The conjunction de marks a transition in the narrative. The content clause introduced by hoti functions as the object of the participle, specifying what they recognized.
