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.
