Exegesis
The aorist eipen {εἶπεν | ei-pen} ‘he said’ summarizes his testimony, peri toutou {περὶ τούτου | pe-rí toú-tou} ‘concerning this one’ identifies the subject of that testimony, and the predicate adjective alēthē {ἀληθῆ | a-lē-thê} ‘true’ with ēn {ἦν | ên} ‘was’ states the settled conclusion: John’s words about Jesus were in fact true.
