Exegesis
The verse opens with the articular subject ho oun Iesous {Ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς | ho oun Iē-soûs} ‘Therefore Jesus’, where the particle oun links this scene inferentially to the preceding narrative and the article ho marks Jesus as a known figure in the discourse.
In context — John 12:1
Therefore Jesus came to Bethany six days before the Passover, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
