Exegesis
The question agapās me {ἀγαπᾷς με | a-ga-pâs me} uses direct second-person singular address, while the reply sy oidas hoti philō se {σὺ οἶδας ὅτι φιλῶ σε | sý oî-das hó-ti phi-lô se} is shaped by the emphatic pronoun sy {σὺ | sý} and the content clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti}, making the speaker’s knowledge the basis of Simon’s answer.
In context — John 21:16
He said to him again, a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord , You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
