They said therefore (eipan oun). Second aorist active indicative of defective verb eipon with a instead of usual o. Note oun, inferential here as in Joh 1:21 though often merely transitional in John.
Who art thou? (Tis ei). Same question as at first (Joh 1:19), but briefer.
That we give answer (hina apokrisin dōmen). Final use of hina with second aorist active subjunctive of didōmi with apokrisin from apokrinomai, above, old substantive as in Luk 2:47.
To those that sent (tois pempsasin). Dative case plural of the articular participle first aorist active of pempō.
What sayest thou of thyself? (Ti legeis peri seautou). This time they opened wide the door without giving any hint at all.
