Exegesis
The interrogative expression Tí oun {Τί οὖν | Tí oun} combines an interrogative pronoun with an inferential conjunction, conveying “Why then?” and signaling that the question is drawn as a logical consequence from John’s prior denials of being the Christ, Elijah, or the Prophet.
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 ?”
