Exegesis
Within this conditional, the subject is ho patēr ho pempsas me {ὁ πατὴρ ὁ πέμψας με | ho patḗr ho pémp-sas me}, where the second article ho plus the participle pempsas creates an attributive participial phrase, “the Father who sent Me,” identifying the Father specifically as the Sender of the Son.
