Exegesis
The omission of the article with Ἰωάννης {Ἰωάννης | Iōannēs} foregrounds John’s personal initiative in coming πρὸς ὑμᾶς {πρὸς ὑμᾶς | pros humas}, literally ‘to you.’
In context — Matthew 21:32
For John came to you in the way of righteousness , and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. You, however, after seeing this, did not repent later so as to believe him.
