Exegesis
Direct discourse opens with the demonstrative houtos {Οὗτός | Hoû-tos} functioning as a deictic subject (“this one”), leading into an equative clause houtos estin Iōannēs ho baptistēs {Οὗτός ἐστιν Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστής | Hoû-tos é-stin I-ō-án-nēs ho bap-tis-tḗs}, where the copula estin {ἐστιν | é-stin} links the demonstrative to the identifying predicate nominative “John the Baptist.”
