Exegesis
The object of anagagōn is a layered accusative: ton poimēna {τὸν ποιμένα | ton poi-mé-na} ‘the shepherd’, modified by the genitive tōn probatōn {τῶν προβάτων | tōn pro-bá-tōn} ‘of the sheep’, and the attributive accusative ton megan {τὸν μέγαν | ton mé-gan} ‘the great’, forming ‘the great shepherd of the sheep’.
The final appositional accusative ton kyríon hēmōn Iēsoun {τὸν κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν | ton ký-ri-on hē-môn Iē-soûn} names ‘our Lord Jesus’ as the great shepherd. The participial clause and stacked modifiers emphasize God’s unified saving act within the framework of an everlasting covenant.
