Exegesis
The explanatory clause introduced by gar {γὰρ | gàr} grounds this claim: ta erga ha dedōken moi ho patēr {τὰ ἔργα ἃ δέδωκέν μοι ὁ πατὴρ | tà érga há dédōken moi ho patḗr} presents “the works” as a defined set, further characterized by the relative clause “which the Father has given to Me.”
The phrase auta auta ta erga {αὐτὰ αὐτὰ τὰ ἔργα | autá autá tà érga} uses the intensive repetition of auta to stress “these very works” as the direct evidence.

In context — John 5:36
