# John answered
"In reply, John said" or "John replied to Jesus." John was responding to what Jesus had said about being the greatest. He was not answering a question.
# we saw
John speaks of himself but not Jesus, so "we" here is exclusive. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])
# in your name
This means the person was speaking with the power and authority of Jesus. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
