John 16:15ExegesisTAB

John 16 : 15 Unity | Revelation | Possession
15. Linguistic Exegesis
The opening correlative expression panta hosa {πάντα ὅσα | pánta hosa} compresses totality into one sweeping claim, so the first clause means every item within the Father’s possession. The relative clause echei ho pater {ἔχει ὁ πατὴρ | ékhei ho patēr} supplies the content of that totality, and ema estin {ἐμά ἐστιν | emá estin} is a predicate-nominative assertion in which ἐμά is fronted for emphasis: what the Father has is claimed as belonging to the Son. Dia touto {διὰ τοῦτο | diá toûto} introduces a direct causal inference, explaining why the statement follows. Hoti {ὅτι | hóti} marks the content of Jesus’ explanation. Inside that content clause, ek tou emou {ἐκ τοῦ ἐμοῦ | ek tou emou} identifies the source of the material being received, while lambanei ... kai anaggellei {λαμβάνει ... καὶ ἀναγγελεῖ | lambanei ... kai anaggeléi} presents a two-stage revelatory sequence: reception first, then proclamation. The subject of those verbs is left implicit in the verse but is identified by the surrounding discourse as the Spirit, and hymin {ὑμῖν | hymîn} marks the disciples as the direct recipients of the disclosure.
