Exegesis
Each oute governs a clause with its own perfect verb: first, phōnēn autou pōpote akēkoate {φωνὴν αὐτοῦ πώποτε ἀκηκόατε | phō-nḗn autoû pō-po-te a-kē-kó-a-te}, “you have ever heard His voice,” and second, eidos autou heōrakate {εἶδος αὐτοῦ ἑωράκατε | eî-dos autoû he-ō-rá-ka-te}, “you have seen His form.” The perfects akēkoate and heōrakate underscore the permanent absence of such sensory experience. In translation, the compact Greek subject structure is unpacked into “the Father who sent Me” to preserve clarity, while the oute…oute construction is mirrored with “neither…nor” / “never…or” to retain the emphatic denial of any direct auditory or visual encounter with the Father.
In context — John 5:37
And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified concerning Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.
