Exegesis
The relative genitive hou {οὗ | hou} ‘of whom’ introduces the clause of comparison that follows, joined to the assertion ouk eimi axios {οὐκ εἰμὶ ἄξιος | ouk eimí á-xi-os} ‘I am not worthy’, which places strong emphasis on John’s unworthiness rather than on the greatness of the act itself.
In context — John 1:27
The One who comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of His sandal.
