Exegesis
The verse opens with a rhetorical question introduced by the negative particle oukh {οὐχ | oûch} placed first for emphasis, followed by the demonstrative subject houtos {οὗτός | hoû-tós} and the copula estin {ἐστιν | es-tin}, creating the pointed expression “Is not this…?”
In context — Mark 6:3
Is not this the carpenter , the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us? And they were offended at Him.
