Exegesis
The verb hōmologēsen {ὡμολόγησεν | hōmologēsen} “he confessed” appears twice, before and after the negated verb ērnēsato {ἠρνήσατο | ērnēsato} “he denied,” creating an inclusio that frames the act of denial within repeated positive confession. This structure heightens the sense of frank, public testimony. The aorist forms present John’s response as a single, decisive act.
In context — John 1:20
And he confessed and did not deny, and he confessed, “I am not the Christ .”
