Exegesis
The final clause kai ouk ēdei hoti Iēsous estin {καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν | kai ouk ēi-dei hó-ti Iē-soûs é-stin} preserves the irony of the scene: she can see Him physically, yet recognition has not occurred. The hoti clause functions as indirect content, so English naturally recasts it as an identification statement rather than reproducing the Greek word order mechanically.
