This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But he answered (hos de apekrithē). Demonstrative hos (But this one) and deponent use of apekrithē (first aorist passive indicative of apokrinomai with no passive force).
The same (ekeinos). “That one,” emphatic demonstrative as often in John (Joh 1:18, Joh 1:33; Joh 9:37; Joh 10:1, etc.). The man did not know who Jesus was nor even his name. He quotes the very words of Jesus.
Whole (hugiē). Predicate accusative agreeing with me (me).
