Exegesis
The verse begins with the verb eiden {εἶδεν | eî-den} followed by the subject ὁ Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs}, a common Johannine pattern where the verb precedes the subject but the article marks the subject clearly.
In context — John 1:47
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and says about him, “Behold, truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
