Exegesis
The content clause gnosesthe hoti ego eimi {γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι | gnṓsesthe hóti egō eimi} makes the lifting up the occasion for recognition; ego eimi is left absolute, so the phrase functions as a self-identifying claim rather than a complete sentence with an expressed predicate.

In context — John 8:28
