Exegesis
The relative clause ha eipon ego {ἃ εἶπον ἐγώ | ha eîpon egṓ} closes the statement with emphatic ego {ἐγώ | egṓ}, underscoring the speaker as the original source of the words under scrutiny. The English rendering keeps this progression intact by moving from challenge, to redirected inquiry, to confirmation by the hearers themselves.
