Exegesis
The clause that follows is a direct rhetorical question introduced by the negative particle oukh {Οὐχ | oukh} “not” plus the demonstrative houtos {οὗτός | hoú-tos} “this (one)” and the copula estin {ἐστιν | é-stin} “is,” forming the structure “Is not this…?” which in Greek implies that the expected answer is “yes.”
In context — John 7:25
Therefore some of the Jerusalemites were saying, “Is not this the one whom they are seeking to kill?”
