Exegesis
The following direct speech is framed with a marked nominal subject: ho patēr mou {Ὁ πατήρ μου | ho patḗr mou}.
The presence of the article ho {Ὁ | ho} with patēr {πατήρ | patḗr}, combined with the possessive mou {μου | mou}, yields the sense “My particular Father,” highlighting the unique filial relationship rather than a generic father figure.
Root and etymology
ergonepsilon–rho–gamma–omicron–nu

In context — John 5:17
