a-pe-KRI-thê-san hoi i-ou-DAI-oi kai EI-pan au-TÔ ou ka-LÔS LE-go-men hê-MEIS HO-ti sa-ma-RI-tês EI sy kai dai-MO-ni-on E-kheis
Exegesis
The content of their assertion is introduced by hoti {ὅτι | HO-ti} “that,” which marks reported speech: Samaritēs ei sy kai daimonion echeis {Σαμαρίτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις | sa-ma-RI-tēs ei sy kai dai-MO-ni-on E-kheis} “you are a Samaritan and you have a demon.”
The coordination with kai {καὶ | kaí} links two parallel accusations—ethnic-religious (“Samaritan”) and spiritual-moral (“have a demon”)—which in translation are kept in close succession to maintain their cumulative defamatory effect. The English reconstructions follow the Greek order of accusation and preserve the question format to reflect the confrontational tone.
In context — John 8:48
The Jews answered and said to Him , “Are we not right in saying that You are a Samaritan and have a demon ?”
