Exegesis
The sentence opens with the narrative frame apekrithe Iesous kai eipen auto {ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ | a-pe-krí-thē Iē-soûs kai ei-pen au-tō}, a standard Johannine introduction to direct speech that foregrounds Jesus by placing His name between two aorist verbs.
In context — John 14:23
Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word ; and My Father will love him, and We will come near to him and make Our dwelling with him.”
