Exegesis
The dative autō {αὐτῷ | au-tō} ‘to him’ marks Jesus as the recipient of the disciples’ speech, while hoi mathētai {οἱ μαθηταί | hoi ma-thē-tai} ‘the disciples’ is placed after the verb, delaying the subject for dramatic effect.
The phrase hoi Ioudaioi {οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι | hoi Iou-dai-oi} ‘the Jews’ functions as the subject of the hostile action in John’s narrative idiom, where the label often points to the Judean authorities in context.
