Ron,

You are writing about a normal construction that can be found not only in
Greek.
What do you say in English: "I who is" or "I who am" ?
Your problem seems to be that John is using this phaenomenon also where we
should prefer another solution than "me, a man, who am speaking" [I
transferred the verb to the present tense in order to make the construction
clear].
