| 22. Linguistic Exegesis The verse opens with kago {κἀγὼ | ka-go} ‘and I’, a crasis that binds the speaker tightly to the surrounding prayer while placing emphasis on the subject. The object phrase tēn doxan hēn dedokas moi {τὴν δόξαν ἣν δέδωκάς μοι | ten doxan hen dedokas moi} is fronted to spotlight the specific glory before the main assertion dedoka {δέδωκα | de-do-ka} ‘I have given’, creating a deliberate Father-to-Son-to-disciples movement of bestowal. The paired perfect forms dedokas and dedoka present the gift as completed with continuing force, so the glory is not merely past information but an active reality shared onward. Hina {ἵνα | hi-na} introduces a purpose clause governed by ōsin {ὦσιν | o-sin} ‘they may be’, and the present subjunctive expresses an ongoing intended state of unity. Hen {ἓν | hen} is a neuter predicate of quality, so the focus is on shared oneness rather than numerical counting. The comparative clause kathōs {καθὼς | ka-thos} ‘just as’ concludes with hēmeis hen {ἡμεῖς ἕν | he-meis hen} ‘We are one’, setting the Father-Son unity as the model for the disciples’ unity. |
