Exegesis
The adverbial expression Opisō mou {Ὀπίσω μου | Opísō mou} ‘after me’ combined with erchetai {ἔρχεται | érkhetai} ‘comes’ sets up a temporal sequence, marking the coming one as subsequent to John in time and public appearance.
In context — John 1:30
This is the one concerning whom I said, “After me comes a man who has come before me, because He was first in relation to me.”
