Exegesis
The explanatory sequence ho gar Iesous {ὁ γὰρ Ἰησοῦς | ho gàr Iē-soûs} places the article with the proper name and the conjunction gar to foreground Jesus as the known subject in contrast to the man’s ignorance, while marking the clause as giving the reason for that ignorance.
In context — John 5:13
But the one who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd in that place.
