Exegesis
Finally, Ioannes {Ἰωάννης | Iō-án-nēs} stands in the nominative as a predicate noun, equating the previously introduced man with John and thus anchoring the narrative in a well-known historical and prophetic figure. The formal reconstruction mirrors the participial structure and possessive nuance of the Greek, while the dynamic reconstruction reshapes the sentence into more natural contemporary English, yet preserves the focus on divine sending and the identification of John.
