Exegesis
The verse begins with an interrogative clause, tis estin ho logos houtos {τίς ἐστιν ὁ λόγος οὗτος | tís es-tin ho lóg-os hoû-tos} “what is this saying,” where the interrogative tis serves as the predicate nominative and the articular phrase ho logos houtos functions as the subject, producing an inquiry about the nature or meaning of the utterance just heard.
In context — John 7:36
What is this saying that He said, “You will seek Me and you will not find Me, and where I am, you are not able to come”?
