Exegesis
The verse opens with the narrative pair apekrithe {ἀπεκρίθη | a-pekrí-thē} ‘answered’ and eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘said’, a common Johannine formula introducing direct speech, with the finite verb appearing before the explicit subject Iesous {Ἰησοῦς | Iē-soûs}, a marked word order that keeps the narrative action foregrounded.
