Exegesis
The clause opens with ego eimi {Ἐγώ εἰμι | Egṓ eimí} 'I am', a self-identification that places the explicit pronoun first for emphasis.
In context — Acts 22:3
I am a man, a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to the strictness of the ancestral law, being zealous for God , just as all of you are today .
