Exegesis
The relative clause hon sy diokeis {ὃν σὺ διώκεις | hon sý diṓkeis} ‘whom you are persecuting’ uses the relative pronoun hon {ὃν | hon} to refer back to Jesus, with the present tense verb diokeis {διώκεις | diṓkeis} highlighting the ongoing nature of Saul’s persecution. The English renderings preserve this structure of question followed by revelatory answer, maintaining the prominence of the “I am” declaration and the climactic identification of Jesus as the One whom Saul’s hostile actions truly oppose.
