Exegesis
Within the quote, the emphatic negation ouk {Οὐκ | Oúk} plus the perfect oida {οἶδα | oîda} expresses a settled denial of relational knowledge, while the interrogative pothen {πόθεν | póthen} signals unknown origin.
In context — Luke 13:27
But He will say to you, “I do not know where you are from; depart from Me, all you workers of unrighteousness.”
