Exegesis
A second narrative clause with legei {λέγει | lé-gei} ‘he says’ shifts back from the plural questioners to the singular respondent, whose answer Ouk eimi {Οὐκ εἰμί | Oúk eimí} ‘I am not’ is a brief, categorical negation.
In context — John 1:21
And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah ?” And he says, “I am not. Are you the prophet ?” And he answered, “No.”
