Exegesis
The self-revelation follows with the emphatic formula ego eimi {Ἐγώ εἰμι | Egō eimí} ‘I am’, in which the fronted pronoun underscores the speaker’s identity, immediately named as Iesous {Ἰησοῦς | Iēsoûs} ‘Jesus’ and further defined by the article and adjective ho Nazoraios {ὁ Ναζωραῖος | ho Nazōraîos} ‘the Nazarene’, a title linking Him to Nazareth.
In context — Acts 22:8
And I answered, “Who are You, Lord ?” And He said to me, “I am Jesus , the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.”
