Exegesis
The articular participial phrase ho pempsas me patēr ekeinos {ὁ πέμψας με πατὴρ ἐκεῖνος | ho pémp-sas me patḗr ekeî-nos} functions as the subject of the sentence: the article ho marks the participle pempsas as substantival, “the one who sent,” which is then further identified by the noun patēr “Father” and intensified by the demonstrative ekeinos “that one,” producing “that Father who sent Me” with strong deictic emphasis.
In context — John 5:37
And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified concerning Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.
