Exegesis
The subject Nikodemos {Νικόδημος | Nikódēmos} is further identified by an article-participle construction, ho elthon {ὁ ἐλθὼν | ho elthṓn}, functioning like a relative clause (“the one who had come”), which intentionally recalls his earlier approach.
In context — John 19:39
But Nicodemus also came, the one who had first come to Him at night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred litrai.
