Exegesis

The genitive ton matheton {τῶν μαθητῶν | tôn ma-thē-tôn} ‘of the disciples’ identifies the whole group whose silence is in view, and exetasai {ἐξετάσαι | ex-e-tá-sai} ‘to ask’ depends on etolma to express the unrealized act of questioning.

In contextJohn 21:12

Jesus said to them, “Come, eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples ventured to ask Him, “Who are You?” knowing He was the Lord .
