Exegesis
The relative clause hon eipen ho Iēsous {ὃν εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς | hon ei-pen ho Iē-soûs} narrows logos {λόγῳ | lo-gō} to the specific utterance Jesus gave, and the article before Iēsous identifies the speaker without needing to repeat the name in the English clause. The verse therefore moves in a clear sequence: resurrection, remembrance, fulfillment recognition, and faith.
In context — John 2:22
Then, once He was raised from the dead, His disciples called to mind that He had been saying this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.
