Exegesis
The direct speech begins with the emphatic subject Hemeis {Ἡμεῖς | hēmeis} “we,” fronted before the verb ēkousamen {ἠκούσαμεν | ēkoúsamen} to stress the crowd’s prior instruction.
In context — John 12:34
Therefore the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever, and how do You say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
