Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This is an inflected form of the verb 'oida', meaning 'to know'. It is a pluperfect form, which describes an action completed in the past relative to another past action, but it functions with the meaning of a simple past tense (imperfect) in Koine Greek. It can be used for any person (I, you, he/she/it, we, they) depending on the context, as the ending is the same for all persons in this specific tense and mood. It describes a state of knowing or having knowledge.
Inflection: Pluperfect, Indicative, Active, All persons (1st, 2nd, 3rd singular and plural)
