Exegesis
Inside the quotation, the fronted pronoun Humeis {Ὑμεῖς | Hymeîs} ‘you’ heightens emphasis when combined with the negated verb oidate {οἴδατε | oídáte} ‘you know’ and the object ouden {οὐδέν | oudén} ‘nothing’, producing a sweeping denunciation: ‘you, you know absolutely nothing.’ In English, the participial phrase is naturally rendered as a relative clause (“who was/served as high priest that year”), while the emphatic second person and total negation are preserved through wording such as “You know nothing at all” and “You do not understand anything.”
In context — John 11:49
But one of them, Caiaphas , who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all,”
