Exegesis
The negative particle ouch {Οὐχ | Oúkh} introduces a rhetorical question, and the demonstrative houtos {οὗτός | hoû-tos} “this” gives a slightly deprecating or incredulous nuance as it points to Iesous {Ἰησοῦς | Iē-soûs}.
In context — John 6:42
And they were saying, “Is not this Jesus , the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know ? How then does He say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
