Exegesis
The intensive pronoun autoi {αὐτοὶ | au-toí} “we ourselves,” followed by gar {γὰρ | gar} “for,” provides an explanatory clause: autoi gar akēkoamen kai oidamen {αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκηκόαμεν καὶ οἴδαμεν | au-toí gar a-kē-kó-a-men kaí oí-da-men} “for we ourselves have heard and we know,” where the perfect forms akēkoamen and oidamen stress the enduring result of their hearing and knowing.
In context — John 4:42
And they were saying to the woman, “No longer do we believe because of your speech , for we ourselves have heard and we know that He is truly the Savior of the world.”
