John 1:29 Τῇ ἐπαύριον βλέπει τὸν Ἰησοῦν  
ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει·  
ἴδε ὁ ἀμνὸς τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ αἴρων τὴν  
ἁμαρτίαν τοῦ κόσμου.

JOHN 1:29 THi EPAURION BLEPEI TON IHSOUN ERCOMENON PROS AUTON KAI  
LEGEI· IDE hO AMNOS TOU QEOU hO AIRWN THN hAMARTIAN TOU KOSMOU.
Here IDE functions as an interjection. It takes the form of the  
imperative of EIDW. EIDON is used for aorist forms of hORAW or hORAW  
is used for present and perfect forms of EIDON. There are historical  
issues here, Carl is an expert so I will not attempt to address them.
