Exegesis
The verse opens with a coordinated narrative frame, using kai erotesan {καὶ ἠρώτησαν | kaí ē-rṓ-tē-san} and kai eipan {καὶ εἶπαν | kaí eî-pan} to depict a formal inquiry directed toward John, with auton {αὐτὸν | au-tón} and autō {αὐτῷ | au-tôi} marking him as both direct and indirect object.
In context — John 1:25
And they asked him and said to him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ , nor Elijah, nor the Prophet ?”
