Exegesis
The narrative frame opens with egō de eipa {ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπα | egō dè eîpa} ‘I, however, said’, where the postpositive de links this response to the preceding narrative while egō is explicitly stated, adding emphasis to the speaker’s personal reaction.
The response Egō eimi Iēsous {Ἐγώ εἰμι Ἰησοῦς | Egō eimí Iē-soûs} uses the egō eimi identification formula, with the pronoun egō again expressed for emphasis, highlighting the importance of the self-revelation.
In context — Acts 26:15
And I said, “Who are You, Lord ?” And the Lord said, “I am Jesus , whom you are persecuting.”
