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.
This is followed by a further relative clause hon egeiren ek nekron Iesous {ὃν ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν Ἰησοῦς | hon ḗ-gei-ren ek ne-krōn Iē-soûs} ‘whom Jesus raised from the dead’, in which the relative pronoun hon refers back to Lazarus, the aorist egeiren highlights the decisive act of raising, and the prepositional phrase ek nekron ‘out of dead ones’ profiles Lazarus as one taken from among the dead. The placement of Iesous at the end of this clause underscores Jesus as the agent of resurrection. In translation, the temporal phrase is brought forward for English naturalness, while the relative clauses are rendered sequentially to preserve the focus on Lazarus as the one whom Jesus previously raised.
