Exegesis
The reply ouk oida {Οὐκ οἶδα | Oúk oi-da} is a blunt denial of knowledge, and the negative particle plus perfect-form verb conveys a settled lack of awareness rather than a momentary lapse. English renders that sense most naturally as a simple present denial.
In context — John 9:12
And they said to him, “Where is he ?” He says, “I do not know .”
