Exegesis
The climactic quotation ho kyrios mou kai ho theos mou {Ὁ κύριός μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου | ho ký-ri-os mou kaí ho the-ós mou} ‘my Lord and my God’ uses repeated articles and matching nominative forms that function as direct address; the normal Greek vocative is replaced here by a solemn nominative-for-vocative construction, making the confession sound formal and emphatic.
