Exegesis
Hon apesteilas Iesoun Christon {ὃν ἀπέστειλας Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν | hòn apésteilas Iēsoun Khristón} is a relative construction that identifies Jesus Christ as the One sent by the Father; the relative pronoun hon {ὃν | hòn} resumes the referent, and apesteilas {ἀπέστειλας | apésteilas} presents the sending as a decisive historical act with lasting significance. The syntax therefore defines eternal life as knowing the Father and the Son in a single relational horizon.
In context — John 17:3
And this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God , and Jesus Christ , whom You have sent.
