Exegesis
The predicate hen {ἕν | hén}, a neuter nominative, precedes the finite verb esmen {ἐσμεν | esmén} and functions as a predicate nominative describing the shared state of the two subjects. The use of the neuter, rather than a masculine form, signals unity of essence or identity rather than a single person, so the two distinct persons are asserted to share one reality. The present indicative esmen links both subjects simultaneously to the predicate, yielding the compact yet theologically weighty statement rendered as “I and the Father are one.”
Root and etymology
