Exegesis
The final sequence ton pote typhlon {τόν ποτε τυφλόν | tón pó-te ty-phlón} functions appositionally, identifying the man being brought as “the once blind one.” Greek uses the article to substantivize the adjective, while the adverb pote places the blindness firmly in the past. English renders the apposition more naturally with a descriptive clause or noun phrase, but the underlying structure still moves from action to location to identification.
