Exegesis

The dative phrase tō Iesou {τῷ Ἰησοῦ | tôi Iēsoû} marks Jesus as the addressee, while the interrogative adverb pothen {Πόθεν | Póthen} introduces a direct question, pothen ei sy {Πόθεν εἶ σύ | Póthen eî sým} ‘From where are you?’, which probes Jesus’ origin at a deeper level than mere geography.

In contextJohn 19:9

And he entered into the praetorium again and says to Jesus , “From where are you?” But Jesus gave him no answer .
