Exegesis
The participle eidotes {εἰδότες | ei-dó-tes} ‘knowing’ supplies the reason for their restraint, and the hoti-clause ho kyrios estin {ὅτι ὁ κύριός ἐστιν | hóti ho ký-ri-os éstin} ‘that the Lord is’ provides the narrative climax: the disciples already recognize Jesus’ identity, so explicit questioning is unnecessary.
In context — John 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 .
