Exegesis

The sequence autois ho Iesous {αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς | au-toîs ho Iē-soûs} ‘to them, Jesus’ places the recipients before the speaker’s name, creating a focused opening that leads quickly into the invitation.

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.
