Exegesis
Within that clause, the syntax is deliberately parallel: ho oidamen laloumen {ὃ οἴδαμεν λαλοῦμεν | hó oídamen laloûmen} and ho heorakamen martyroumen {ὃ ἑωράκαμεν μαρτυροῦμεν | hó heōrákamen martyroûmen} place the relative pronoun ho {ὃ | hó} first, foregrounding the object of knowledge and sight before the verbs of speaking and testifying.
Root and etymology

In context — John 3:11
Truly, truly , I say to you that what we know we speak, and what we have seen we bear witness to, and you do not receive our testimony.
